PistonHeads is sad to note the death of Henry Surtees following an accident in a Brands Hatch F2 race on Sunday.
The 18-year-old son of 1964 F1 champion John Surtees was struck on the head by a wheel that had flown off a spinning car. Surtees was airlifted to the Royal London hospital, where he died.
Henry's father, John, said: "Despite his young age he had shown maturity, technical understanding and speed. Most importantly he was a nice person and a loving son. He will be deeply missed."
