Prof. Sid Watkins
Various sources are reporting the great professor has passed away - I'm trying to verify this.
The man is a legend in F1, there are people who literally owe their lives to him.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Yes, it is true. He has passed away. Very sad news. A true gentleman. He will be missed. I'm sure Ayrton is up there waiting for him.
It's rare news like this affects me but tonight I go to bed with tears in my eyes.
RIP Sid! Probably one of the most respected and liked men ever in F1.

There are few that come as liked as the Prof, a huge lost for motorsport and the world. RIP.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Also, I am surprise that Autosport, Sky or the BBC haven't written anything up on the death of Professor Sid Watkins yet.
