Still think it's a disgrace he didn't get a knighthood when Stirling Moss & Jackie Stewart did. No doubt there is some political reason why.

One of the best drivers/riders ever very understated

I saw him go up the Goodwood hill a few times on different years. Still really fast for a guy who was in his 70s then, and a lot quicker than most people were pushing it on those days. Amazing.

Sad news, a true talent on two and four wheels.
