This list includes drivers who have died during a [[Formula One#Distinction between Formula One and World Championship races|FIA World Championship event]] (including practice, qualifying and the race), and those who have died while driving modern or vintage [[Formula One car]]s outside the World Championship. [[Motorsport marshal|Track marshals]] and other race attendees who have died as a result of these accidents are not included in the list. Fifty-two drivers have died from incidents that occurred at a FIA World Championship event or while driving a Formula One car at another event, with [[Cameron Earl]] being the first in {{F1|1952}}. Thirty-two of the drivers died from incidents during Grand Prix race weekends which formed part of the World Championship, seven died during test sessions, and thirteen driving Formula One cars during non-championship Formula One weekends or vintage/historic events. The [[Indianapolis Motor Speedway]] has seen the most fatalities; seven drivers have died there during the time that the [[Indianapolis 500]] formed part of the world championship, though the Indianapolis 500 was held to [[American Automobile Association|AAA]] regulations rather than Formula One regulations. Fifteen drivers died in the 1950s; fourteen in the 1960s; twelve in the 1970s; four in the 1980s and two in the 1990s. Following the deaths of [[Roland Ratzenberger]] and [[Death of Ayrton Senna|Ayrton Senna]] at [[Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari|Imola]] on consecutive days in {{F1|1994}}, no driver died during world championship events for more than 20 years until [[Jules Bianchi]]'s death in 2015, from injuries sustained during the [[2014 Japanese Grand Prix]].<ref name="Bianchi" /> Three drivers died in the intervening years while driving former Formula One cars (two from the 1960s, one from the 1990s) in vintage racing and other events not associated with World Championship {{not a typo|Grands Prix}}.<ref name="Dawson-Damer" /><ref name="Glatz" /><ref name="Welch" /> Two Formula One [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|Champions]] have died while racing or practising in Formula One, [[Jochen Rindt]] in {{F1|1970}}, and Senna in 1994. Rindt was not a champion at the time of his death, but won the 1970 championship posthumously, the only driver to have done so.<ref name="Rindt" />
