Sad that he has passed, though it was peaceful and after many years in the sport he loved.

I’m not a massive formula 1 fan I’m more a btcc fan but Nikki was one of the best and bravest men out there. A true legend of motorsport. He will be very sadly missed. RIP Sir, he’s back with his old friends who never made it.

Niki's grit and determination was an inspiration to my dad when he was burned in a gas explosion. Niki will be sadly missed as a man and as a contributor to motor sport in general. RIP.
