The ONLY driver to win F1 and MotoGP world titles.
Did it for the sheer thrill of racing, not the lifestyle that pretenders like Lewis Hamilton embrace.
Happily working in the pit lane, caked in oil and grease to maximise engine performance the day before a race.
RIP John

Happily reunited I'm sure.
