The bright-red band carries the words 'MONACO 2014. P8. #JB17', and are to be worn by every member of the team.

Sporting director Graeme Lowdon told AUTOSPORT earlier this week the race would be a highly emotional one for the entire organisation.

A year ago Bianchi secured eighth place at the end of a topsy-turvy race for the team, then known as Marussia, with a time penalty later dropping him to ninth.

It is a result that remains the marque's only points-scoring finish in its five-and-a-half-year history in the sport.

Frenchman Bianchi was involved in a horrific crash in the Japanese Grand Prix in September, and at present remains hospitalised in a facility in his home city of Nice.
