Henry Surtees has died following an accident in a Formula 2 race at Brands Hatch on Sunday.
During the second of the weekend's races, the 18-year-old was struck on the head by a wheel and tire from the car of Jack Clarke, who had spun into the wall exiting Westfield Bend.
Surtees was knocked unconscious in the accident and his car failed to negotiate the following Sheene Corner, running straight off the track and into the barrier.
He was taken to the onsite medical centre and transferred to the Royal London hospital by helicopter, where he was treated. But a spokeswoman for the hospital confirmed that he had died of his injuries.
