Toyota's formula one cars will feature black this weekend as the Japanese marque mourns the death of Ove Andersson, its first team principal.

Swede Andersson, 70, was killed while competing in an historic rally in South Africa last week.

"To mark his passing, both TF108s will feature a black band around the monocoque while the design of the team garage will also include black," Toyota on Monday revealed in a preview of the French grand prix at Magny Cours.

A book of condolence, to subsequently be given to Andersson's family, will be available in the Toyota motor home for F1 personnel to sign, the Cologne based team added.
