Peter Warr, R.I.P.

[Athlon]

Ex team principle of Team Lotus has passed away from a heart attack

Perhaps best known for signing a certain Mr Senna to lotus, In March he returned to the Formula One paddock in Bahrain, where he was enthralled to see Fittipaldi and Mario Andretti demonstrating their famed championship-winning John Player Special Lotuses before an appreciative crowd.

R.I.P. sir, a true legend builder.

I think his greatest achievement was keeping the F1 team together after Chapman's death in 1982. I always get the impression that Senna chose Lotus rather than Lotus chosing Senna.

I've always had mixed feelings about Warr. However, it's sad to see another piece of Lotus history pass away.

Did you know that former Lotus driver Trevor Taylor passed away last week as well?
