Can't see there being another bike & F1 world champ. Sad news.

Probably would have won a second F1 championship if hadn't told Ferrari to shove their job :grin:

Really sad news, my son told me an hour ago before I saw this on here.. a Gentleman and a legend.

A typically understated British legend. I felt sad for him in recent years whenever I saw him on TV/Goodwood, having lost his son like that in a devastating accident too.

Remember seeing him at the 50th anniversary of Lola in Huntingdon:

A true gent talking to anyone with passion and honesty.
