Just read this, he will be sadly missed, and although he is probably more famous for his gaffes, he was a motorsport legend

From poking Nigel Mansell’s plastered nose with his microphone to interviewing Mick Fleetwood and not realising that has band were responsible for the F1 theme tune

Some of his many famous quotes:

The lead car is unique, except for the one behind it which is identical.

This would have been Senna's third win a row if he'd won the two before

With half the race gone, there is half the race still to go

I don't make mistakes. I make prophecies which immediately turn out to be wrong.

There are seven winners of the Monaco Grand Prix on the starting line today, and four of them are Michael Schumacher.

IF is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, IF is F1 spelled backwards.

Mansell can see him in his earphone.

We now have exactly the same situation as we had at the start of the race, only exactly the opposite.

And Michael Schumacher is 37 seconds ahead, so he can refuel the car, change all four wheels, take off his helmet, have a smoke and a cup of tea, and rejoin in first.

Mansell is slowing it down, taking it easy. Oh, no he isn't! It's a lap record

And there's no damage to the car. Except to the car itself.

Unless I am very much mistaken...I AM very much mistaken...!

And the first three cars are all Escorts, which isn't surprising as this is an all Escort race.
