Apparently Adrian Campos, former F1 driver and team boss and current owner of Campos Racing in junior formulae has died. 

Must be sudden as he looked well on January 14th on a Facebook Post.

Fausto Gresini still on life support; his conditions deteriorated on 17 January, but have improved now.

Gresini still critical, but has improved in the last few days after his condition took a turn for the worse at the beginning of the week. Sadly, I think he is a goner.

"Deeply sedated again"  Seems to wander up to the precipice only to stumble back then wander up again every few days.

He was already critical and now deteriorated again. I'd be surprised if he sees the week out.

The Gresini Racing Team went forward with a product presentation as planned. As you might imagine, Fausto was not present. https://www.gpone.com/en/2021/02/17/motogp/gresinis-conditions-worsen-but-fausto-is-fighting-team-presentation-confirmed.html

Chris Craft, one time Grand Prix driver, co-creator of the Rocket Roadster and multiple touring and Sportscar champion died this morning aged 81. I'm sure an obit will follow soon but a link for now. But FB and twitter filling up with tributes https://www.oldracingcars.com/driver/Chris_Craft

 

He should have been a powerboat driver with a name like that.

Only a modest surprise. He didn’t see another week. Credit to you for calling it.
