This is a real shame. He had a great personality, and it was a real shock when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. The world is worse off without him.

Your right as well as being a great driver, he had the sort of personality which made everybody like him.

He was a great ambassador for the sport.

If you think about many of the WRC drivers, they seem to be quite friendly people, such as Petter Solberg, Marcus Gronholm, Gigi Galli.
Compare that the the mostly-grumpy F1 lot...
