A week after the Belgian GP, people are still thinking about Anthoine Hubert, who died in the Formula 2 race, but also Juan Manuel Correa who was seriously injured in the same incident and has been placed in a medically-induced coma.

Most of the discussion has, of course, been about Niki Lauda who died on Monday. [FIA] Mercedes have posted some nice photos on their instagram feed: the red cap amongst the headsets, the single red star on the car, and the red halo. [More tributes on FIA site] Not much else in the news since […]
