The 18-year-old, who gained the 2021 Spanish F4 championship, was racing for the Dutch MP Motorsport outfit on the Belgian Grand Prix circuit.
The incident occurred not far alongside the monitor from the place French driver Anthoine Hubert died in an F2 race at Spa-Francorchamps in 2019.
“MP Motorsport is deeply saddened to verify that our driver, Dilano van’t Hoff has handed away because of a crash in the course of the second race of the System Regional European Championship by Alpine at Spa Francorchamps,” Dutch MP stated in a press release.
The race, in moist situations with heavy spray, was on the assist programme for the 24 Hours of Spa endurance race.
System Two groups and drivers competing on the Austrian Grand Prix held a minute’s silence.
“Dilano died in pursuit of his dream to succeed in the head of motorsport. Together with the complete motorsport neighborhood, our ideas are along with his household and family members,” System One chief government Stefano Domenicali stated.
Media experiences stated van’t Hoff was caught up in a multi-car collision throughout a late restart.
