On 1 July, Dilano van 't Hoff died at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. The young Dutchman was involved in an incident during a rainy race in the Formula Regional European Championship. To honour him, his teammate, Sami Meguetounif, is driving with a special helmet in honour to Van 't Hoff for the rest of the season.
The motorsport world was shocked when the news of Dilano's death came out. Many Formula 1 drivers expressed grief over the incident. Richard Verschoor spoke fond words about his racing friend after his victory in the Formula 2 race in Austria.
