F1 and Le Mans star Salvadori dies

Former grand prix driver and 1959 Le Mans winner Roy Salvadori has died at the age of 90. Born in London to Italian parents, Salvadori entered 50 world championship Formula 1 races between 1952 and 1962, starting with a private Ferrari at the '52 British Grand Prix, where he finished eighth, before contesting five rounds for Connaught the following year. Salvadori achieved success in non-points events with a Sid Greene-entered Maserati from 1954 to '56, but had a tougher time in world championship meetings, scoring just one race finish in five outings.
