Formula One to hold minute's silence for Anthoine Hubert ahead of Belgian Grand Prix

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Formula One will hold a minute's silence ahead of Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix in memory of Anthoine Hubert, who died racing in Formula 2 on Saturday.

Hubert succumbed to injuries sustained in an accident on the second lap of the Formula 2 feature, which took place after F1 qualifying on Saturday afternoon.

Sunday's Formula 2 sprint race was cancelled out of respect for Hubert and a minute's silence was also held ahead of the Formula 3 race, which was rescheduled to the slot previously held for F2's sprint race.

Formula One will hold a minute's silence on the grid at 14:53 ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix race start at 15:10.
