    John Surtees, the only man to win the Formula One and motorcycle grand prix titles has died aged 83, his family has announced.

    Surtees, who won the F1 title in 1964 to add to his 500cc motorcycle world titles from 1956, 1958, 1959 and 1960, "passed away peacefully this afternoon".
    His wife Jane and daughters Leonora and Edwina were by his side.

    I have photos of F1 drivers at Watkins Glen, from the sixties. I remember him from the Grand Prix. I did not know about his motorcycle prowess.

    I must say I'm saddened by this news.
    Rest in peace John Surtees.
