Formula One pays tribute to MotoGP's Nicky Hayden

Formula One's teams and drivers have paid tribute to the 2006 MotoGP champion, Nicky Hayden, who died Monday from injuries sustained in a crash while cycling.

The American was hit by a car while riding in Italy last Wednesday and was rushed to a local hospital with severe head and chest trauma, as well as several fractures. He was then transferred to the Bufalini Hospital in Cesena, where he succumbed to his injuries five days later.

Drivers and teams from up and down the paddock passed on their condolences to the 35-year-old's family and friends on social media:

Dear Nicky, you will be missed.
