French Formula 1 driver Jules Bianchi has died from injuries he sustained in the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.

The 25-year-old suffered severe head injuries when he crashed in wet conditions into a recovery vehicle last October.

He had remained in a coma since the accident in Suzuka.

In a statement his family said: "Jules fought right to the very end, as he always did, but today his battle came to an end."

He died in hospital near his parents' home in Nice in the south of France.
