Maria de Villota reserve F1 test driver has been found dead in a hotel room in Spain.
She lost an eye and suffered sever brain injury after a crash about 18mths ago but had returned to driving competing in the Spanish F3 and Daytona 24 race.
Very sad she was only 33.

I see they said she had died of natural causes and have now linked it to the injuries sustained in the accident.
