The only man to have been F1 and 500cc World Champion.

Legend and a nice man.

Saw it on the news, very sad, he's been someone who's always been around in motorsports as far back as I can remember. A real sporting hero, and someone who's always seemed to be a real gentleman with it.
RIP JS.

Top bloke. I liked Hailwood more for some reason but Surtees got the results.

Jesus, I thought he was gonna live forever...

Very poignant, having a family so late and then losing a son.

One of the good guys.
