RIP Sid Watkins
Bummer.
One of the good guys from the glory days... "Professor Sid Watkins, the Formula One doctor who tended to Ayrton Senna after his fatal crash at Imola in 1994 and who saved the lives of countless others through his work on safety, has died at the age of 84." Motor racing-Sid Watkins, F1 doctor who tended to Senna, dies | Reuters

Bummer indeed!!!
This is very sad to hear he's passed :-( Probably one of the most respected and classiest guys in F1, who did the world for driver safety. RIP Professor.
