Yes, saw him race a few times.

He very nearly died in 1976 so perhaps he did well to live this long really.

Another big character gone.

Yeh, he won the World Title in '77 but he VERY VERY nearly won it in 76 the year of his crash. Lost out by ONE point.

Saw him entering the paddock at Monza a few years back. I was stood where all the drivers were going in so there was a load of excited fans trying to get pictures and autographs but when he went past there was just a different air about him. He was something different and everyone realised that
