Oh no! He was an absolute legend in motorsport and particularly in F1, what a shame for him to die so young.

Only the good die young...

What a travesty.

Great guy. The TWR empire took a pounding after the Arrows fiasco and I'm not sure if he ever regained control. However, his expertise was sought after right up to the end ...

A very great loss to the world of motorsport, Tom was a legend & will be sadly missed by all at the BRDC in which he took a great pride.

I remember seeing him in SD1 rovers, and then the Jag XJS. I also remembr him taking the Jags to Bathurst too. A great loss.
