Four years ago, a shock went through the motorsport world. Anthoine Hubert died after a huge crash at Spa-Francorchamps. Coming up to the Eau Rouge-Raidillon corner combination, Hubert crashed into the tyre pile at high speed, which sadly proved fatal. Alpine reflects on the event four years ago.

"August 31 will always be the day we remember Anthoine. Although it has been four years since that tragic day, we continue to race with him firmly in our hearts. We miss you buddy," the French team wrote on Twitter. Check out the two from the team below:
