Toyota to pay homage to Andersson

To mark his passing, both of Toyota's car will feature a black band around the monocoque while the design of the team garage will also include black.

A book of condolences will be available in the team's motorhome for all Formula One personnel and media to sign.

"The French fans are always very supportive to me and I hope we can really show them how competitive our car is by scoring points again," said Jarno Trulli in a team preview.

"In particular we want to achieve a strong result this weekend as a tribute to Ove because without him I'm not sure whether Toyota would be competing in Formula One now.

"He helped build up the factory from scratch back in the rally times to what it is now; a real Formula One facility with the potential to produce world championship-winning cars.

"He loved motorsport and it was his passion to see Toyota succeed so I hope we can achieve something fitting this weekend."
