Professor Sid Watkins

[Sidewinder]

It seems that a stunning medical brain and a pioneer, nay stalwart in motor sport safety passed away.

I have only just heard!

RIP Sid, you will be missed, by more people than may at first realise this.

Edit, did not know until a few minutes ago.

Chris Evans was yapping on about this on his breakfast show. No one has died in F1 since his safety standards were imposed.

Gawd - I didn`t know, until I saw the post.

There`s a man who will be remembered for all the lives that haven`t been lost......

It isn`t that long ago, that a first corner incident like Spa would have meant major hospital work, at the minimum.

Because of him (and others), everyone walked away......

I know a few racing drivers who will say they are here today because of this man.
