Formula One will observe a minute of silence ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday, September 1, 2019, to pay tribute to Anthoine Hubert, who tragically lost his life in a crash during a Formula Two race at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit on Saturday.
The minute of silence will be observed at 1453 local time (1253 GMT) on the grid before the race gets underway at 1510, according to the official schedule.
A video paying tribute to the Frenchman will also be played on screens around the circuit.
The supporting Formula Three series, which shares the same paddock with Formula Two, will also hold a minute's silence before the start of its second race on Sunday.
On Saturday, a devastating crash occurred on the second lap of the Formula Two race, resulting in the loss of Hubert's life. Juan Manuel Correa, who was unable to avoid Hubert's car, collided with it at high speed at the exit of the Spa-Francorchamps track's fast Raidillon corner.
Correa suffered fractures to both his legs and a minor spinal injury and has undergone surgery. He is currently resting in intensive care.
