3 time champion and legend in the sport.

Two long time figures gone this year.

quote:

With deep sadness, we announce that our beloved Niki has peacefully passed away with his family on Monday," his family said in a statement.
"His unique achievements as an athlete and entrepreneur are and will remain unforgettable, his tireless zest for action, his straightforwardness and his courage remain.
"A role model and a benchmark for all of us, he was a loving and caring husband, father and grandfather away from the public, and he will be missed."


Just an elderly F1 fan

One of the greats. A technician behind the wheel. I'm glad to have been able to watch him work.

ETA. Was given the last rites after his accident. He certainly didn't waste his second chance at life.
