Terribly sad news as Charlie Whiting passes just at the start of the season. Unquestionable a loss to the sport that will be missed by many.
RIP Charlie

Shocking news, I'm gutted. Charlie was part of the F1 furniture. He will be missed.
Condolences to his close friends and family.

Condolences as Morini says. 66 is no age at all nowadays, it's very sad news, and on the eve of a new season. I remember Charlie saying a few years back his favourite moment of the entire F1 season was starting the sequence at the first race of the season. Shame he didn't get to do it one more time.

Devastating.
An icon in the world of Motorsport. A monumental pillar in F1, will be greatly missed.
A mournful and sombre start to the 2019 championship.
Rest in Peace Charlie.

Seb pens a few words in memory of Charlie (on behalf of all the drivers)
