Aston Martin honors beloved colleague after his passing

At the Hungaroring, the Silverstone-based team had already displayed a message to 'Biscuit', a beloved member of the team who was absent throughout the weekend. Every team on the grid joined in as well. The message read: "Thinking of you."

Today, Aston Martin announced that the long-serving tyre technician had passed away. Fern spent more than 35 years in the Formula 1 paddock.

On social media, the team wrote: "The thoughts of the entire team and F1 community are with the family and friends of our teammate, Mick Fern, affectionately known to so many of us as Biscuit, who passed away peacefully today.
