The nicest driver in pit lane, hands down. Always had time for every fan, especially families. RIP JR, truly a gentleman of the sport.

Still incredibly sad to this day. If you go back to the introduction of CoTF and remember how strong BJR's form was for the first two seasons with Bright and Coulthard, I can't help but think JR would have done some great things in that era. A case of what might have been 😞😞😞

What he did to come back like he did was remarkable enough

It was so sad. It is great we continue to keep his memory alive and have the jr trophy.

RIP JR
