    Very sad news to wake up to this morning although clearly he wasn't well as he'd been missing from the Pits lately. He could be rather out-spoken, but most of what he had to say, was relevant and perhaps needed. And another one departs. This is very scary.

    Winning 3 championships back in the day meant a lot more than 3 championships in the modern era.

    Back in the day it wasn't as safe as nowadays, none of that health & safety today.

    Death from crashing was almosta certainty every other week back then...

    An amazing man to continue racing after the 1976 crash, and again become world champion in 1984
