I guess he's gone to join some of his fellow greats of the 60s. RIP. |

Sad to hear this. ![]() He was a great racer in both F1 and sportscars. Loved watching footage of his and others racing from those days - when drivers drove the car and raced in more than just 1 series. He will be sorely missed here (too few links to those hey-days are left) |

Crying shame. Hill was a character, and a great of the sport. Actually won more races w/ Ferrari than Shumi did. He will be missed. |

...and the BBC haven't noticed, at least not in the sport section. Shame on them, again. RIP |

I presume you mean in series other than F1? I thought he only won three F1 races? |

Well, I don't recall MS being at Le Mans for the 24, but I seem to recall he won a few sportscar races. Not very many though.... |
