Awful circumstances, but a sport and a community coming together.

The drivers of the Formula One circuit put behind their competitiveness and rivalries this morning to remember a friend and a colleague.

Ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, the world’s finest drivers locked together in a touching huddle surrounding helmets that were offered in memory of Jules Bianchi.

The French man’s family even showed up in a show of real strength and courage just days after Bianchi’s funeral.
