DeathEdit
Marimón was killed during a practice session for the 1954 German Grand Prix.
While traveling on a downward section of the track, he failed to turn on the sharp turn at the bottom of the incline. His car left the track and became airborne after striking a ditch. The car was then sent into a barrel roll after striking a tree.
The car landed upside-down, with Marimón trapped underneath. Marimón died track-side, shortly after being freed from the wreckage.
