The 'Pampas Bull' remained in good health for most of his life, but a heart attack in 2013 led to his death a few months later. He was a regular visitor to historic festivals and current F1 races, including most recently, the 2002 Italian GP. He also worked in his offices in Buenos Aires until 2012 and was an adviser to young Argentine hopeful Juan Cruz Alvarez.
