Maria de Villota was found dead this morning in a hotel room in Seville. The career in motorsport of the 33-year-old Spaniard had been abruptly interrupted in July 2012, after a straight-line test session at Duxford Airport in Great Britain with the Marussia team.<\/p>\n
Victim of a serious accident during these tests, Maria de Villota miraculously survived but lost an eye and suffered severe cervical complications after crashing into a truck while returning to the pits at the wheel of the Marussia.<\/p>\n
This morning, the Spanish media reported the death of the pilot, information that was later confirmed by her family: \u00ab Dear friends, Maria has left us. She must join paradise, like all angels. We thank God for this additional year and a half that He allowed us to spend by her side. \u00bb<\/p>\n
The causes of his death are not known at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
