In other words Sir SCM is not well enough to make a statement himself. This is a report on both the Daily Mail and iol.

Joey Russ 7,227 Posted April 12, 2020 Tbf, OoO mentioned that he wasn’t in the greatest health in past, so his death wasn’t really unexpected, just that there wasn’t a lot to talk about up to that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

torbrexbones 717 Posted April 12, 2020 Am I allowed to say that I did not rate him as a racing driver? he was a good ambassador for the sport but not a true winner at it. As has been said, his death frees up a spot for next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Er...30 of this year's list are over 90 and nearly everybody on the list is several decades past their peak/period of fame (excluding Bill Gates' dad and P-Orridge who weren't famous to start off with). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As has been said, his death frees up a spot for next year. Except, of course, he won 40% of all the races he ever entered (over 500 of them). The year he won the Mille Miglia, he absolutely tore the competition, shred from shred. He won nearly a third of all his F1 starts at a time where Fangio was dominating and achieved countless speed records. Genuine legend. R.I.P. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bentrovato 1,087 Posted April 12, 2020 One day out. Bar steward. RIP old man. He did a programme to show that all his house was guided by machines so he could press a button and a cup of tea would arrive on his lap. But, no Ayrton Senna . RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah which is kind of the whole issue. The list used to be interesting people with health issues regardless of age. 30 picks 90 and over is exactly what I'm moaning about.
