He won the 1967 Italian Grand Prix at Monza in the Honda F-1. I was there then, and had the privilege of watching him win.

John Surtees simply brilliant, A true race hero, I understand he passed away today why why why did this man never receive a knighthood for his racing achievements.  A true legend on 2 and 4 wheels

Soooo, the Beckhams get royal/government recognition for their contributions, but the only person in the word to to achieve somthing that will never be done again, aswell as starting a foundation after the loss of his son to help What did we miss?

Mr. Surtees mastered the best in world on two and four wheels, it boggles the mind! No doubt, the greatest achievement in motorsport.

A nice chat

Sebring '64

I had told the old man about John dropping a wheel off in the sand

on exiting The Websters..

Just as John came in with a broken lower A arm, on the 330P...

Smiling that I had caught him out..

But the 4 liter had such torque it wanted to go out there..

I was about 15, but an observer.... astronomy and all else...

John seemed as young as I... hard to believe he had been racing over 10 years..

Never got to speak with him again..

But the old Ferrari mechanic would call me over for any observations

Right through 1972... my last Sebring race...

No one could miss my old USN WWII B&L 7x50s

Which helped me pick up on such things..

Then the oil embargo/IMSA killed off the prototypes...

I lost interest..
