A great shame as he was a driver I have respected and followed throughout his career, hard to believe it was only two years ago that news of his illness was first made public (a year in which he still finished fourth in the WRC and lead for most of the year).
It is true, the BBC is where I first saw it, there's too many sites putting it up to be false. Unfortunately, it's not sudden either, he was taken ill in 2003. I met him a few times when he was first starting out as he grew up near me, he was a nice guy. 👎
