Timeline

1991

Henry John Surtees (18 February 1991 – 19 July 2009) was a British racing driver and the son of John Surtees.

He died during a Formula Two race at Brands Hatch when he was struck by a wheel which came off another car which had spun into a wall.

Surtees finished his debut season in the championship 7th in the overall points standings, and second in the Rookie Cup.

During a season in which the second half was dominated by fellow rookie Marcus Ericsson, Surtees claimed one pole position (Thruxton), one race win (Donington Park) and two fastest laps (Rockingham and Snetterton) while driving for the Carlin Motorsport team.

The season was marred by penalties and a disqualification at Oulton Park.

2007

After two races in 2007, Surtees moved up full-time to the Formula Renault UK series in 2008 with Manor Competition.

He also competed in the Winter Series again, having finished 13th in 2007.

He battled James Calado for the title, with Calado coming out on top.

2008

Surtees competed in one race meeting during the 2008 season, in the final two races at Donington Park for Carlin Motorsport.

Surtees took a win and a second in his two races in the National Class.

2009

Surtees signed up to the revived FIA Formula Two Championship ahead of the 2009 season on 2 January 2009.

He drove car number seven in the series.

He scored a podium in the first of the two races at Brands Hatch, coming third, and achieved a pole position at Brno.

His results placed him fourteenth in the championship, at the end of the season.

At Brands Hatch on 19 July 2009, during a Formula Two race, Surtees was hit on the head by a wheel from the car of Jack Clarke after Clarke spun into the wall exiting Westfield Bend.

The wheel broke its tether and bounced back across the track into the following group of cars and collided with Surtees's helmet.

The mass of the wheel assembly hitting his head was 29 kg, and given that his car was travelling at 161 kph at the time the wheel struck, the impact yielded approximately 30,000 joules of kinetic energy.

The car continued straight ahead into the barrier on the approach to Sheene Curve, also losing a wheel, and came to rest at the end of the curve with its remaining rear wheel still spinning and the engine at its RPM limiter.

This indicated that Surtees had lost consciousness, with his foot still pressing the accelerator.

Surtees was extricated from the car and taken to the circuit's medical centre, where he was stabilized before being transferred to the Royal London Hospital.

He was pronounced brain dead later that day.

He was 18 years old.

Surtees's death was attributed to severe head injuries, inflicted by colliding with Clarke's wheel, rather than the subsequent crash with the barriers.

His parents elected to donate his organs for transplant, a decision which was credited with saving five lives.

Surtees' funeral took place on 30 July at Worth Abbey, near Turners Hill, West Sussex.

2010

In June 2010, a group of Surtees's school friends swam the English Channel in stints to raise money for charity in his memory.

A cafe at his former school was also named The Pit Stop in memory of him.

In 2010, the Henry Surtees Award was launched, to be awarded annually for the most outstanding performance by a rising motor racer.

Its first winner was Formula Renault UK champion Tom Blomqvist.

Also in 2010, the Henry Surtees Foundation was founded as a charitable organisation by his father John, to assist victims of accidental brain injuries and to promote safety in driving and motorsport.

† As Surtees was a guest driver, he was ineligible to score points.

* Surtees died during round eight of the sixteen-round series.

2011

Surtees' death along with an increasing number of accidents where wheels were torn off their mountings led to the number of wheel tethers being doubled to two per wheel for the 2011 Formula One World Championship season.

2012

He finished 12th in the championship, including a third-place finish at Silverstone's National Circuit.

2017

Surtees was buried at St. Peter and St. Paul's Church in Lingfield, Surrey; in 2017, his father John was buried next to him.

2018

The FIA introduced a mandatory titanium-carbon fibre "halo" cockpit protection structure for the 2018 Formula One and Formula 2 championships.

Surtees's fatal impact was one of many simulated with the halo device, and the FIA concluded that Surtees's outcome likely would have been improved by the presence of a halo.

The utility of the halo, controversial when introduced, was borne out in the 2018 Belgian Grand Prix, when a wheel from the spinning and airborne car of Fernando Alonso solidly struck the halo structure of Charles Leclerc's car.

The halo was credited with potentially preventing a serious injury to Leclerc, if not outright saving his life.
