Seeing as we have moved from the F1 drivers of the thread title to those in other categories of Motor Sports, I put forward Ángel Nieto, the 13-time world Motorcycle champion who died as a consequence of the brain damage he suffered when a car hit his quad bike in Ibiza back in July of this year (2017).
Nieto was a legend, and his total of 90 Grand Prix victories from 1964 to 1986 ranks him third overall in GP victories, a number surpassed by only the 122 by Giacomo Agostini, and the 115 for Valentino Rossi.
