An F1 legend, I was curious as to why he wasn't around the Mercedes pit this year.

RIP to a great racer.

Ditto 

Another one of the all time greats from my youth gone.

A true badass legend among the crazy badassez who dare get in an F1 ride.

RIP Niki

I really enjoyed the movie Rush.

I was disappointed with the race scenes, movies always have a hard time capturing the essence of car racing.  Grand Prix and Le Mans are still the two best.  Interesting factoid, they used the same race track for all of the races in Rush and then interposed digital grandstands etc. to make them appear to be different locations.
