Re: R.I.P. John Surtees
Amazing & very, perhaps overly, principled man who achieved an enormous amount during his lifetime and leaves a great legacy through the foundation named after his son Henry who died aged 18 after a freak accident at Brand Hatch. John was 75 when this happened and his reaction to Henry's death by setting up & actively running the foundation for the benefit of others shows what a great man he was.
