For those of us Formula 1 fans, he'll be a great loss. Who will some of the drivers whinge to now on their radios?

Very sudden and sad news. Huge hole to fill for this weekend and the longer term.

One of the linchpins of F1 for many years and by all accounts a top bloke as well; as you say, a very sad loss and a huge void to fill.

Sad thing and a bit of a dampener on the opening weekend, stressful job and constant travelling can't have helped.

Very sad news. He kept all sides of F1 running

I think this is shocking news. I'm very upset - he seemed such a nice guy. Jake Humphries tweeted (and repeated on the BBC) a lovely anecdote about his first time in the pit-lane having been presented CBBC one week and a GP the next. CW put him at ease:

I know it doesn't help anyone but I can't help thinking the flight to Oz and DVT had something to do with it. RIP Charlie.
