Monaco for his 9th place here with Marussia, probably the best memories about him

It's cool to give proper tribute to the fallen, but let's not go overboard. Why Monaco? All corners have relevant/historic names already, and Bianchi was not from Monaco. They should pick another corner, either on a FIA Grade 1 track in France, or rename one of the countless corners on existing F1 tracks that have only "Turn #" numbers.

he was born in Nice, lived in Nice and grew up in Monaco, which is about 10 km from Nice. Plus he scored his first points there.

If any circuit should do something special for Bianchi, it should be Monaco.

just rename the tunnel to Bianchi Tunnel, a place of high speed (and noise back in the days)

Does 'Swimming Pool' refer to all four corners, or just the first two? I suppose one of them could be so named? Every other corner has a name already.

Of course, the first apex of La Rascasse would be perfect :)

It refers to the entire section, so all four corners

Nice - it is the nearest city/airport from Monaco.

Swimming pool are just named first and second esse de la piscine. The right hander before Portier is nameless as well. Goddamit I'm arguing against my case here :lol:

I just saw this now in full and I thought that was awesome (especially to put his helmet in the middle)

And yes, they definitely need to name a corner after him.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.
