RIP.
He came across as a grumpy old sod but he was a major force in F1 and I doubt anyone will forget the Mansell years.

RIP Sir

I've followed him from the Patrick Head days. A legend.

His late wife wrote a book 'A different kind of life', following his accident, well worth a read.

Cracking video link on the F1 thread where he does a couple of passenger laps with LH driving at Silverstone in I think it's an E63AMG
Cab, well worth watching (sound on!!).

RIP Sir Frank, you will be missed - and remembered with much respect and love.

I watched a documentary on him a couple of years ago. What a brilliant guy.
