Bianchi scored Marussia's only championship points in the team's four seasons at Monaco despite starting 21st on the grid in a 22 car field. Bianchi actually finished ahead of Grosjean - then driving for Lotus - on track, but a penalty dropped Bianchi back a place.

Bianchi was involved in a horrific accident in Japan later that season which left him in a coma for nine months. Bianchi died from his injures last July at the age of 25.
