Sad news...RIP

bit of a shocker - only 70

 

[JamPal]

yes, always looked so well too!

He got to see his son become World Champion which must have been a very proud moment, I am sure he made a major contribution in time and money to his son's early career.

Sad news indeed. Hopefully Mclaren can give him a decent car to honour his memory.

Met him at Jenson's 21st Bday party, sad news. Nice parents. It's sad when anyone's parent dies though.

From his face I would say he lived every minute of those 70 years.

From his face I would say he lived every minute of those 70 years.

I would tend to agree with you, I read he liked fine wines.

'Tis true. He lived...err...very well. Sad loss for the family and for the F1 circus. He really was a character.
