The Brazilian Grand Prix will see Formula One pay tribute to those lost and injured in the attacks on Paris, the FIA has announced.
Over 120 people were killed and many more injured in a number of attacks in the French capital on Friday night, the same city as the FIA headquarters. Formula One's governing body has now announced it will be paying tribute to those who died ahead of the race at Interlagos, alongside a previously arranged ceremony relating to road safety.
"Because of the horrific terrorist attacks of 13 November in Paris, the ceremony to pay tribute to the casualties of road traffic accidents scheduled for the Brazilian Grand Prix within the framework of the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims has been modified," the FIA confirmed in a statement.
"The drivers' parade lap will see all competitors wearing a black armband as a sign of mourning and tribute to the victims of the Paris tragedy and as a gesture of solidarity with their families and loved ones.
"In addition, a French flag decorated with a black ribbon will be carried on the truck used during the drivers' parade. The same flag will be displayed on the world television feed, as will 13.11.2015, the date of the tragedy.
"Finally, a backdrop prepared for the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims will be displayed behind the drivers on the grid at 13h45 (local time) for a minute of silence as a tribute to those who have lost their lives or have been injured in road traffic accidents."
Romain Grosjean was sporting the Tricolore on his left arm throughout running at Interlagos on Saturday.
