Two-time F1 Grand Prix winner Patrick Tambay dies aged 73 after Parkinson's battle

Two-time Formula 1 Grand Prix winner Patrick Tambay has died at the age of 73. Tambay - who raced for Ferrari, McLaren and Renault - passed away this weekend following a battle with Parkinson's disease.

The Frenchman enjoyed two spells in Formula 1, and it was his second visit where he enjoyed the most of his success. After taking a break to win the Can-Am Series for a second time in his career, he returned to F1 in 1981.

Following this, his maiden victory came just a year later as he got himself on the top of the podium at the 1982 German Grand Prix in the famous red of Ferrari.
