RIP and condolences to Jenson and the rest of his family.
Very sad indeed - he always came across as very genuine chap and he always seemed to have a smile on his face. I bet the pit lane will miss him alot.

That's terrible news - he seemed a really nice, genuine bloke.

RIP John - F1 is a better place due to your involvement.

Always came across as a Straightforward Guy and a loving father R.I.P.

Probably one of the most genuine supporting fathers the sport has seen, certainly in recent years. RIP John, thoughts go out to all friends & family

Very sad news.

I agree with everyone else, he came across as a very genie bloke... The type you would happily drink a few pints with.

Condolences to Jensen and his family.
