New Zealand lost one of its finest motor racing drivers with the death of Chris Amon today.
He passed away this morning in Rotorua Hospital after a battle with cancer. He was 73.
Along with Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme, Amon formed a three-pronged New Zealand challenge on the tracks of Europe and America who proved Kiwis could indeed fly.
"He is one of the most skilful and natural drivers ever to grace Formula One,'' three-times F1 world champion Sir Jackie Stewart said. We're on INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/2evtvsg
