Carlos Reutemann
Former Formula 1 racer Carlos Reutemann has been admitted to the intensive care section of an Argentinian hospital after suffering from digestive bleeding, with his condition said to be worsening.
Reutemann has been facing previous severe health issues in recent years, being diagnosed with liver cancer in 2017. He underwent surgery in New York later that year to remove a liver tumour and has continued to struggle with his health ever since, making few public appearances. |

Indeed . 79, Christ but it seems -and is - a helluva long time since we kipped in the car and saw him win the next day at Brands in '78 . Along with Peter Revson , a man who was blessed with almost cartoon-like good looks.

Just an update on Reutemann...
As we are aware he was in intensive care recently suffering from a number of issues, apparently internal bleeding and complications stemming from his battle with liver cancer. His recent troubles seemed to have been overcome, and I saw photos of him posted by his daughter showing him sitting up in bed reading the newspaper in a normal (non ICU) ward. He was released from hospital to continue his recovery at home.... It seems there has now been further complications. He is certainly back in intensive care , having as mentioned been discharged from hospital two weeks ago to continue his recovery at home. Less than two weeks after being discharged from hospital, Carlos Reutemann is now back in intensive care. It seems he reported back to hospital earlier in the week feeling unwell. He was reported to be suffering from dehydration and a 'feverish condition'. He is under observation in intensive care undergoing further tests with the prognosis 'reserved'. Hopefully the 'Reserved' prognosis becomes something more positive after the tests have been concluded. Quote:

Fair fair. Just going going by what i have read here...he had a tumor removed from his liver in 2017 and his health has deteriorated since then but yeah i have no idea if his recent health issues were connected to his previous cancer diagnosis.

Nice tribute... Memories of Carlos Reutemann by Peter Windsor. I found it interesting and covers interests outside F1 and more.
