Things I wouldn't object to seeing in Hungary:
1) Every driver wearing 17 on their cars.
2) Every car painted in Marussia colours.
3) The French national anthem played during the podium ceremony, regardless of who wins.
4) Every car running devoid of all sponsorship and decorated with tribute messages.
Just some random musings on my lunch break at work.

Agree with all of the above suggestions for Hungary. Assuming there will be some sort of tribute and sure it will be a good one.

I imagine the least they'll do is a minute's silence before the race.

There will be a minute silence as well.
Taken too soon

Funnily enough, I was thinking that having each car running the number 17 would be a nice touch.
I don't know what other drivers and teams are doing but I know Lewis (as I follow him on facebook) had asked people to send him some artwork for his helmet this weekend which he would use as a tribute to Jules.
