A member of F1’s travelling circus died after falling from the eighth floor of a Budapest hotel.

29-year-old Darren Hawker, who worked for McLaren’s catering company - Absolute Taste - had been standing on a terrace of the Marriot hotel which was not normally used, a police spokesperson said.

”The exact circumstances are still being investigated by the relevant authorities,” a spokeswoman for McLaren added.

Hawker, a Briton, had worked for McLaren for a year.
