Growing up, I can't say I liked him. But hearing others talk about recently has made me view him in a different way.

Take a look from 5 minutes on in this video with Jason Plato and Jonny as an example.

Motorsport in the UK would have been very different without him.

Sad to hear the news. Williams were pretty much unbeatable in the mid 90's - which was the era I remember best. Great team back then.

Thanks for posting the YouTube link Peter, very entertaining!

I was extremely fortunate to work for this wonderful man for six years between 2001 and 2007. He was a fabulous boss, who made it his priority to know everyone's Christian name and a bit about all their families. At that time there was over 500 people employed at the factory!  Once you worked for him, you became part of his extended family. A very sad loss.
