Killed in an aeroplane crash. The Brazillian GP circuit is named in his memory. A debonair man, he was hugely popular in Sao Paulo, even more so than fellow Paulista and World Champion Emerson Fittipaldi. One of Bernie Ecclestone's all-time favourites, he surely would've won more races but for his untimely death. Biography last updated 11 Nov 2012 |
