Vitaly Petrov will wear a black armband at this weekend’s Malaysian GP in honour of the 39 who died in the Metro bombings in Moscow earlier this week.
The country remains on high alert as two car bombs exploded today killing a further 12 people.
“This terrible news shocked me profoundly,” Petrov told his official website. “I would like to give my support to everybody who was affected by this tragedy.
“I will wear a black armband during the Malaysian Grand Prix in memorial to the people who were killed or wounded at Lubyanka and Park Kultury stations.
“I’m sure organizers of this barbaric act will be found soon and brought to justice. And I hope from all my heart that such a thing will never happen again”
