One of the old school F1 drivers who kept up with modern racing. He knew his onions especially when it came to strategies for races

RIP Niki

He suffered horrific burns and went through 2 kidney transplants and a lung transplant. I respect the mans resilience so much!

RIP Niki

Sad news - RIP

I can imagine Niki and James have already resumed their rivalry and are tearing up the track in heaven.

A terrible shame for motorsport, but at the same time he's had a much longer innings than everyone expected after the accident..

RIP, amazing how he lived for another almost 43 years after that huge crash years ago.

Sad news, one of the truly great racing drivers

Sad year for Motorsport this year. This will hit Lewis Hamilton hard

RIP Niki - amazing driver

Very sad, surely one of the toughest men ever to compete in motorsport.

Gutting. A legend in his own right and intrinsic with Lewis being at Merc. Sad day.

An all time great, one of if not the greatest given what he overcame.

I’ll be watching Rush tonight again.

RIP.

Same, makes you realise how bland Motorsport is these days without characters like this.

A real loss to the sport. Was mental what they did in those cars
