A minute’s silence was held for Bianchi on the grid before the start of the race. The drivers stood arm in arm in a circle around their helmets, with Bianchi’s placed in the centre.

“We all did the race today for him, trying to race our hearts out from beginning to end. You will always be in our hearts. For all of us who were on the grid in Suzuka last year and are on the grid this year, Jules will always remain a part of us when we jump in the car when we race. We know sooner or later you would have been in this team.”
Sebastian Vettel
