Alpine reveal touching tribute to Dilano van 't Hoff after tragic death at Spa
Alpine have unveiled a touching tribute to Dilano van 't Hoff, after the team revealed a sticker with the Dutch teenager's initials on Esteban Ocon's car following his tragic death at Spa-Francorchamps on Saturday.
In a wet final race of the weekend at the Belgian circuit, the 18-year-old was involved in a multi-car incident on the exit of Raidillon.
After the heartbreaking news of his death broke, the whole racing community came together with tributes and messages of support for those close to him poured in from all corners of the sport.
And Alpine have now shown their class after the team took to social media to share photos of Ocon's car with an additional sticker carrying the words: "Racing for Dilano", alongside his initials.
