RIP Andrea De Cesaris

Andrea died in a motorbike accident today. Massive loss - one of racing's most interesting characters.

Sad day all around really - RIP.

This Day is getting worse and worse

RIP

The Real Story of the Race was that the Renault's fell apart and the Ferrari's didn't.
Rosberg headed for the sliproad and retired, probably because of Nicotin starvation they have still not given him a helmet with a little hole in it.

A sad day for motorsport.

RIP

He was one of my favourites when I first got into F1, if only because of the drama and craziness he tended to cause. I remember hating him when he drove into Mansell at Imola in 1990 and James Hunt called him an idiot. Then I remember being pleasantly surprised by his "rejuvenation" with Jordan in '91, then seeing him have a kind of relapse with Tyrrell in 1992-93, then his return to the limelight with Jordan subbing for Irvine(His drive at Monaco in 94 was inspired, and for me shone a ray of light through that depressing weekend), and then at Sauber subbing for Wendlinger. I thought this brought his F1 career to a very respectable end.
More recently, thanks to YouTube, I saw his first F1 crash, at Watkins Glen in 1980, as I was watching the BBC highlights of that race. I'd never realised he started so early in F1(driving or crashing).

I think it's fair to say that he's become an F1 legend.

RIP Andrea.
Thanks for the memories.
