    John Surtees, the son of the wind, Big John... died.

    The only pilot in the history that managed to be champion world in motorcycling and in F1.

    Forza Surtees!

    He won the first race I ever attended, which also happened to be his maiden start for Ferrari, I believe, the 1963 12 Hours of Sebring. He very generously spent a good 20 minutes in the paddock at Goodwood reminiscing about it with me. He will be missed and his dual championships will likely never be matched.
