Just got the word that Senna's old team mate has died aged 62. Way too young!

Sad. Always liked him.

Any report of how or why he passed away?

Very sad indeed.... from Frank Williams van driver to Senna's Lotus teamate and a Le Mans win with Jaguar.
I always liked him. Our papers here are reporting his death as from cancer.

Sad week for motor sport..... Murray, Sabine and now Johnny Dumfries

RIP the Marquess of Bute John Crichton-Stuart aka Johnny Dumfries.

Some poor sod had to be Senna's team mate
The board equivalent of the Jody scheckter chicane. Fast but pointless

He was interviewed for Beyond The Grid only last year and I'm so glad they did. A fascinating story:
