One of my boyhood heroes and I had the good fortune to meet him a couple of times.

Absolute gent and fitting that the tag legend really does apply to him.

RiP Sterling and thank you

Proper gent by all accounts.

Strange how a man who won a quarter of all races he entered, never one a world championship.

Agreed

But then look how many races/podiums Randy Mamola achieved and he never won a world title either..
