Two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso led a silent tribute to the 153 victims of the Madrid air crash this morning.
At 12.00, the Spaniard was joined by fellow drivers and a number of the sport's leading figures, including Bernie Ecclestone, as Formula One remembered the men, women and children who perished in Wednesday's disaster.
In order to allow the three-minute tribute, the GP2 practice session was delayed by fifteen minutes until 12.15.
