BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Formula One drivers mourned French driver Jules Bianchi on Thursday but made clear his untimely death would not change the way they go racing or their willingness to take risks.

The popular Bianchi died in hospital last Friday nine months after his Marussia car slammed into a recovery tractor at the Japanese Grand Prix.
