Former French F1 Piloto Jean-Pierre Beltoise
has died at the age of 77 from an apparent Double Stroke at his home in Dakar, Senegal
on Monday, January 5th.
And instead of rehashing what I've already

his 'Mega 11-titles in 5yrs before switching over...
And I've also previously scribbled 'bout
Monsieur Beltoise's Formula 1 achievements briefly, noting how ironically
Jean-Pierre would be replaced at Matra by his brother-in-law, Francois Cevert
before winning his lone Grand Prix at a very soggy Monaco in 1972, which would
become BRM's final Formula 1 victory...
