Its very sad news, I have to say, it upset me more than I expected, perhaps because he was still very active in F1, and so I got to see him being interviewed etc most race weekends.

I agree with Ray, what a life! He was 70 when he died, but what he squeezed into that life was extraordinary.

I always enjoyed his interviews in modern F1, as he was one of the few to speak out and say what he thought, and his old-school attitude in a PC world was quite refreshing.

He will be greatly missed. RIP Niki.
