Sad news. One of the good guys and true gentlemen of F1 and one of the fastest on the track & slowest drivers on public roads as he didn't believe in taking unnecessary risks.

Interesting in that I saw him at the Ferrari 70th Anniversary Celebration at Fiorano along with Jean Todt, But Montezemolo was not there.
