Sid Watkins steps down

Sporting Life Has any man done so much for safety in Formula One or maybe even in motor sport in general. Probably not - so as he steps down I'm sure racing drivers the world over will think about this great man.

The one story I remember right now is probably one that did not get all that much publicity but in his "Life on the Limit" book he told this story about how in his surgery one day (i mean this guy was in charge of medical care in F1 and he still had a "surgery") and Ayrton Senna came to him with a facial nerve problem. Needless to say the good doctor sorted him out but it just showed a very human face to a great guy. Thanks Prof
