Pierre Gasly's heartfelt pain still lingers at Spa

One year on from the tragic passing of his friend Anthoine Hubert, the sorrowing pain still lingers for Pierre Gasly.

Among those in F1 who knew and raced against the young Renault driver who died at Spa a year ago, Gasly was the closest to Hubert, the pair having grown up together in the ranks of karting and shared a flat together as they embarked on their respective career in motorsport.

As he walked the track this morning at Spa, the AlphaTauri took a moment alone at the top of the hill at Raidillon to lay a few flowers at the spot where his close friend perished, and to honour his memory.

"Still can’t believe it...," Gasly wrote on social media. "We miss you, I miss you Tonio.

"I hope we make you proud from up there. Forever in our hearts bro."
