He entered Formula One as a practice driver in 2012 for Sahara Force India.

His best result that year was 13th at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
In October 2013, the team confirmed that he would drive for the team the following season.
In the 2014 season, he scored both his and the Marussia team's first points in Formula One at the Monaco Grand Prix.On 5 October 2014, during the Japanese Grand Prix, Bianchi lost control of his Marussia in very wet conditions and collided with a recovery vehicle, suffering a diffuse axonal injury.
