    RIP Justin Wilson

    I know technically this belongs in the IndyCar forum but he was a former F1 driver and another fairly young man. He left behind a wife and 2 little ones. This has been a tough year for all motorsports fans.
    You will be missed Justin Wilson. RIP
    you can't argue with results.

    Terrible news. So very sad. Loved watching him in F1, he really gave his Minardi something to think about. Wish he had had a bit more time in the Jaguar and maybe his career in F1 would have been slightly fuller. Enjoyed watching him race in Indy too.

    Another sad day for motorsport.

    He was the one who lost his seat due to being too tall right? Very sad. Bianchi and now Wilson. Not a good time for F1 fans.

    Yes Justin was very tall.

    Do any of you remember his 2003 Minardi days? He got a real reputation for good starts. Often finding his Minardi 11th -15th in the opening laps...... really exciting days.

    Happy memories

    If you are able to access this, I thought this was a very good way of summing Justin up.

    Such a gentleman, and so humble with the way he went about things. Clearly this guy is thought very highly of.

    +1. Fantastic gesture for anyone to donate organs so that others can have a life.
