Sebastian Vettel, Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo dedicated their results in the Hungarian Grand Prix to Jules Bianchi.

Following an emotional minute's silence on the grid ahead of the race - which saw Bianchi's helmet added to all of the other drivers' in the middle of a huddle - Vettel went on to win a chaotic race and took to the Ferrari team radio afterwards to dedicate his win to the late Frenchman who passed away last week.

"Incredible day but this victory is for Jules," Vettel said on the podium. "We know that it has been an incredibly tough week and it’s, I think, for all of us very, very difficult, so this one is for him and especially all the people in Ferrari and all the Ferrari we knew that sooner or later he would have been part of our team, part of this family. Cette victoire, c’est pour Jules."

Having taken the first podium of his F1 career, Kvyat was still relatively sombre as he paid tribute to Bianchi.

"I thank my team very much for this podium," Kvyat said. "But you know this podium it goes first of all to Jules Bianchi and to his family. We lost a great guy, a great driver. So all my thoughts are with him right now."

And Ricciardo similarly said Bianchi was in his thoughts with the way he approached the race.

"Definitely this race, as all the drivers have said, was for Jules," Ricciardo said. "I left everything on the track, whether some competitors like it or not, that is how I wanted to do it. That is how I will always do it. Watching Jules grow up that was how he did it. He had amazing race craft and made some pretty impressive lunges. I feel all the moves on track... I drove inspired today.

"I am happy to be standing up here. It has been an emotional week. Before the race was emotional and it was very nice to have his family present and this one is definitely for him. Hopefully we will find some happiness from this weekend and move on."
