Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas will run in the Monaco Grand Prix with special liveries dedicated to Niki Lauda after the Mercedes non-executive chairman's passing this week. Teams up and down the grid are also planning tributes to the three-time world champion.

Lauda passed away this week after suffering from kidney problems. The 70-year-old had been ill for some time and required a life-saving lung transplant after contracting a virus while on holiday in Spain last year.

F1 is set to organise tributes for the Monaco weekend, a minute's silence before the race is anticipated.

Lauda took charge of many aspects at the Mercedes team after purchasing a stake in 2013, and was crucial in the appointment of Hamilton from McLaren later that year.

A special livery, with a red star in tribute to the Austrian, his signature and "Danke Niki" will be run in Monte Carlo.
