Formula 1 drivers to display Jules Bianchi tribute stickers in Russian GP

Drivers to display Bianchi tribute stickers

Formula 1 drivers are planning to pay tribute to Marussia's Jules Bianchi by putting stickers on their race helmets during this weekend's Russian Grand Prix in Sochi.

The 25-year-old Frenchman remains in a critical but stable condition at the Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaichi after suffering a severe head injury in last Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix.

Bianchi's car collided with a recovery vehicle tending to Adrian Sutil's Sauber during the rain-affected race in Japan last week.

In tribute to the stricken driver, a number of this weekend's competitors will display stickers reading, 'Everyone with Jules,' in French on their helmets.

Mercedes star Nico Rosberg and Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull are among those planning to pay tribute to Bianchi.
