What began as a painful reminder of loss has ended with a moment of profound relief for the Bianchi family.
Days after revealing that thieves had taken nine karts from his home – including the one carrying the deepest emotional weight – Philippe Bianchi has shared that his late son Jules’ kart has been found and safely recovered.
Thanks to the swift work of local authorities and a wave of public support, a piece of Jules’ racing legacy has returned home.
For the Bianchi family, the theft was never about money. When he first spoke out, Philippe Bianchi made clear that it was the memories attached to the kart – the last one Jules raced before stepping into single-seaters – that made the loss so hard to bear.
That sense of heartbreak has now been replaced by gratitude and quiet joy.
“It is with great joy that I confirm that Jules' kart has been found. A huge relief for our entire family,” he wrote in a Facebook post announcing the news.
A Legacy Protected by Many Hands
The kart’s recovery followed widespread sharing across social media and coverage in the media, a collective effort that Philippe was quick to acknowledge.
“A huge thank you to everyone who shared on social networks, to the media who relayed the information and to the Brignoles gendarmes for their action.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all for allowing this. We still have a few karts and a mini motorcycle to find, but thanks to all of you I have good hope. Forever Jules.”
The words carry both relief and resolve – relief that something irreplaceable has been returned, and resolve to keep searching for what remains missing.
Above all, they reflect the enduring bond between a father and a son whose impact on motorsport still resonates deeply.
Jules Bianchi’s journey took him from karting prodigy to the pinnacle of Formula 1, debuting with Marussia in 2013 and retaining his seat the following year.

His career, full of promise and determination, was tragically cut short after a devastating accident at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix. In torrential conditions, his car veered off course and collided with a recovery vehicle, leaving him critically injured. After emergency surgery and nine months in an induced coma, Jules passed away, leaving an indelible mark on the sport.
In the aftermath of his death, Formula 1 changed. Under FIA president Jean Todt, the halo cockpit protection system was introduced from 2018 across F1 and other single-seater championships – a lasting legacy born from tragedy.
The return of Jules’ kart may not erase the pain of loss, but it restores something priceless: a tangible link to the early days of a life lived for racing.
