Scenes from the paddock: Spa-Francorchamps

Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix was in large part about… the day before, and the stark reminder it provided about motorsport's dangers.

The Monegasque won for himself, for Ferrari, for his father Hervé and mentor Jules Bianchi. But first and foremost, he triumphed for his childhood friend, Anthoine Hubert.

Here are our scenes from the paddock from Spa-Francorchamps.
