RIP.

Joe Saward has posted an excellent biography of him.
"One day Bruno told me that he had heard the engine momentarily making a strange sound; his suspicion was that all the cylinders had been operating."

RIP, this really makes me very sad. He was the first Australian in F1 and he shared a birthday with me. It is really a sad day for Australian motorsport

RIP. I know a lot of people here are Aussie, so this may affect them quite a bit.
