The FIA has confirmed it will pay tribute to the victims of the terrorist attacks in Paris at Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix.
The governing body of motorsport had already planned to hold a minute's silence for the casualties of road car accidents as part of the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. Following the terrorist attacks on Friday night, the FIA will alter its plans to include a tribute to the victims of the Paris tragedy during the drivers' parade.
"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."
In a separate statement on Saturday, the FIA paid homage to the victims of the Paris attacks and their families.
"The FIA and its 236 affiliated members in more than 140 countries globally share the grief of the families of the victims of the terrorist attacks which occurred in Paris, one of the FIA's historic headquarters," the statement said. "The whole FIA community expresses its solidarity to all those affected by this insufferable tragedy."
