Maria de Villota,[url=http://www.lockshoe.com]nike sko[/url], who has been a pioneer for women in Formula One, has died aged 33.
The Spaniard, who was a reserve driver for the Marussia team during the 2012 season, was found dead in a hotel room in Seville, according to local media reports.
De Villota, the daughter of former F1 driver Emilio de Villota, was in Seville to launch her autobiography.
"Dear friends: Maria has left us," read a statement from her family on De Villota's official Facebook page.
De Villota's first outing in a F1 proved to be her last.
