Haas F1 team's Romain Grosjean will pay tribute to Jules Bianchi this weekend at the Grand Prix of Monaco with a special helmet design celebrating Bianchi's ninth place finish in Formula 1's most famous race in 2014. 

Bianchi scored Marussia's only championship points in the team's four seasons at Monaco despite starting 21st on the grid in a 22 car field. Bianchi actually finished ahead of Grosjean - then driving for Lotus - on track, but a penalty dropped Bianchi back a place.

Bianchi was involved in a horrific accident in Japan later that season which left him in a coma for nine months. Bianchi died from his injures last July at the age of 25.
