Former F1 driver Johnny Dumfries passes away at 62

Johnny Dumfries who raced for Lotus during the 1986 F1 season and won the 1988 Le Mans 24 Hours has passed away at 62 following a short illness. Born John Crichton-Stuart into one of Scotland's oldest aristocratic families, he embarked on a career in racing under the lo-profile surname Dumfries, but later in life preferred to be simply known as John Bute after his ascension to Marquessate. A dominant season in British F3 in 1984 saw Bute step up to the newly created FIA International Formula 3000 Championship. Despite a disappointing campaign, the Scot filled the second seat at Team Lotus alongside Ayrton Senna in 1986, competing in 15 Grands prix and scoring 3 points. ©TheCahierArchive...
