Yesterday's Hungarian Grand Prix remembered one of their lost sons.

Jules Bianchi tragically passed away this month after spending nine months in a coma. The Frenchman crashed at last year's Japanese Grand Prix and suffered severe head injuries.

Before the start of the race yesterday, the drivers and their teams paid respect to the 25-year-old by observing a minute's silence.

Sebastian Vettel went on to claim top spot, a sluggish start from Lewis Hamilton put him out of contention for the majority of the race.

The Ferrari driver then dedicated his triumph to Bianchi: "Cette victoire, c’est pour Jules.

"This victory is for Jules. We know that it has been an incredibly tough week and it’s for all of us very difficult, so this one is for him and especially all the people in Ferrari. We knew that sooner or later he would have been part of our team, part of this family.”

Nico Rosberg also failed to make the podium with Daniil Kvyat (Red Bull) and Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) claiming second and third positions respectively.
