Aston Martin has paid tribute to Mick Fern, better known as 'Biscuit' in the Formula 1 paddock, after he passed away today.
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."
