The world's oldest living former F1 driver turned 100 on Monday, 20 June 11. Paul Pietsch drove Alfas and Maseratis in the early days of the modern era. He later went on to start the Auto Motor und Sport magazine. He still refuses to use a cane or a hearing aid. He says that such things "are for old men."
Oddly enough, his nickname during his racing career was 'Rennbaby' (Racer Baby).
Happy Birthday, sir! :yahoo:
