Condolences to Jenson and his family. I can't even begin to imagine.

RIP...

ever present is a widely misused expression , but in john's case it was almost literally true
I don't know if he ever missed any F1 races that jens was in , but if he did , it wasn't many

commiserations to his family
to the optimist a glass is half full ; to the pessimist a glass is half empty ; to the F1 engineer the glass is twice as big as it needs to be

Certain other F1 drivers parents (mainly Anthony Hamilton) could learn a lot about how to conduct themselves from John, in fact so could shirt swinger from jessica too but thats a different subject. Such a shame RIP john,

It would be strange having your father around for all your career to suddenly not having him. I know it would leave a big void in my life. Sorry mate.

such sudden death must be really devastating Jenson and his family. consider how active john has been touring with Jenson over the years, I am sure its going to be really tough for Jenson to race without John around.

R.I.P. John. :(

Never liked Jenson but his dad seemed to be a really cool guy from what I could see through the telly. Or, as Ernst Hausleitner (austrian F1 commentator) said: He was - by a far margin - the coolest dad on the grid.
