The grand old man of French motor racing died on sunday. He won LM in 1954 with Gonzalez in a Ferrari. He also won the Monaco GP in 55 and 58.
He was at the Classic LM in July to wave off the first race with Henri Pescarolo. I was priviledged enough to be there and I recall they didn't half make a fuss of him. He probably deserved it!
Maurice seen below at the Classic with Jean Pierre Jassaud, Pesca and Jurgen Barth.
RIP

Sad news indeed. As well as being one of the great French drivers of the immediate post-war period (along with Raymond Sommer, Jean Behra and Jean Pierre Wimille) he played a starring role in the rise of British teams to prominence in the late fifties, being a driver for both Vanwall and Rob Walker's fledgling team alongside Stirling Moss.
