Just read this today, the account of his Mille Miglia victory as written by his co-driver.

At 88 ,he's entitled to finally put his feet up and hopefully live to 100 and beyond.....

Amazing 'old school' article, a lovely read.

170mph.. Bloody hell, I remember doing 150mph in a new Sierra Cosworth.. it was on a motorway and it felt 'interesting'. Soon got used to it lol.

Magnificent driver and a lifelong contribution to the sport.

Well deserved rest and I do hope he recovers from the infection that has dogged him.

Just finished reading it, amazing bloke.

Wishing him the best. Can Jackie Stewart retire as well...

One of the best bits of motoring journalism. I read that when it was first published. I was 8, It was mesmeric.

The car, complete with double headrests and the number 722, is a frequent visitor to the Goodwood FoS.

DSJ made me want to be a writer.
