Sadly Charlie Whiting has died today in Melbourne, after suffering a pulmonary embolism.
He was 66.
The snowy haired Charlie was always the guy we saw in the starter's box
and was the person drivers would be briefed by on safety issues and the
like before each race and would be the person they would refer to during
a race if they had something to report. "I hope Charlie is listening", they would say.
