This is a totally respectful question. We now have the pics of two deceased drivers in the sidebar. With the potential for more to be added due to the dangerous nature of the sport, how is it going to be decided when a pic stops being shown?

Why not Guy Ligier? He was as important (or more) to F1 history as both this guys.
I'm guessing Wilson won't be up too long, it's been a long time since he was in F1. But Bianchi.... Obviously I'm biased as a Ferrari fan, but he was one of the up and comers. He was one of the drivers that was here to stay, that earned his seat by being damn quick in that Marussia. I think his picture should stay up a while.
Side note, what if we did a little remembrance page? With the passing of Guy Ligier recently and Bianchi last month, plus all the others in the last few years, why not have something more permanent instead of a temporary picture? Have a link to the page above Bianchi's picture, and have an assortment of pictures and blurbs about those who have passed since this subreddit was established. Just a thought.
I don't think you have to be a Ferrari fan to realize that he would have been dominating in years to come.
I don't think Bianchi would be dominating....
Screw off FAKEVETTELFAN you are a shitty go kart driver so what would you know. I bet you couldn't get a Marrusia into the points at Monaco so frig off. If you would like to continue this argument you can reach me at www.NICOISANDALLWAYSWILLBEBETTERTHANVETTELWHOSUCKSS.net
ALSO your a filthy casual.
Fuck off Bobby....
I say keep those pictures there until the end of the year at least. They were both visible members of the motorsport world.
Wilson won't be staying up their forever. With all due respect he was an Indycar driver and will rightfully be mourned by everyone over on that sub. So i'd imagine it'll be removed in a month or so. Unless everyone else would like it to stay?
I agree. With all respect, but it has been 12 years ago that he has driven in F1. A lot of F1 fans on this sub probably never saw Justin race. He is part of the Indycar Family, and a little bit Formula E since he drove 1 race for Andretti last season.
Bianchi on the other hand was an F1 driver who clearly had a big future in F1. It is logical that his picture stays a little longer.
It is very sad news to see him pass away though, thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
