League Notes: FIA Confirms Minute's Silence In Honor Of Jules Bianchi

The FIA "has confirmed a minute's silence will be observed" in honor of Jules Bianchi 15 minutes prior to the start of the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday." A sticker paying tribute to Bianchi "will be made available to all F1 drivers in Hungary this weekend, courtesy of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association" (BBC, 7/23). ... Board of Control for Cricket in India Secretary Anurag Thakur "made it clear that they would not rush to any decision regarding the controversial" Indian Premier League COO Sundar Raman's fate amid calls for his ouster, terming him a mere "employee and not a decision maker." When asked why Raman was still not suspended, Thakur said, "There is no verdict against him (Raman). There is an enquiry going on. See when we took over, there was an enquiry against these two teams (CSK and RR) as well" (FIRST POST, 7/23).
