Formula 1 to hold a minute's silence in memory of Anthoine Hubert

Formula 1 and Formula 3 will hold a minute's silence before the start of the Belgium Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon. This minute silence will be in respect and memory of Anthoine Hubert who tragically lost his life at Spa-Francorchamps yesterday. 

Tributes for the 22-year-old Frenchman have flooded in this morning and the sport will continue to send respects throughout today's Belgium Grand Prix. Last night, Lewis Hamilton paid tribute through a message on his Instagram story. 

Christian Horner says the crash reminds us of how dangerous and hard motorsport can be. 

The Formula 3 minute silence will be held at 10:50 and then a second-minute silence ahead of the Formula 1 race will be conducted at 14:53 local time.
