The team held a banner that read “Todo nuesto apoyo a las victimas de Santiago” (all our support for the victims in Santiago.)
Lotus F1 Team chairman, Gerard Lopez, born in Spain, also sent a message.
“I and all within Lotus F1 Team would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of those affected and involved,” Lopez said in a press release.
“As a Galician, I will provide all the help and support possible to those affected by this disaster, which has taken place in an area of the country I know and love so well. As an expression of support, I would like to reach out to those involved and show my unity to the region.
“Furthermore, as a mark of respect and display of moral support, Lotus F1 Team will drive with the Galician flag on the rear wing end plates of both E21 Formula 1 cars throughout the weekend of the Hungarian Grand Prix.”
