Former Lotus team manager Peter Warr has died of a heart attack in France at
the age of 72.
Warr took full responsibility of Lotus on the death of owner Colin Chapman in
1982, working alongside Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna in their burgeoning
careers. He also worked under Chapman in the 1970s, playing a part in the
title successes of Jochen Rindt and Emerson Fittipaldi. In the late 1970s he
joined the new Wolf team, overseeing its start up and eventual handover to
Fittipaldi in 1981.
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone paid tribute to Warr on the official Formula One
website.
"Not only have I lost a good friend who was the team manager for Lotus when
Colin Chapman ran the company but Peter Warr, who died yesterday of a heart
attack will be missed by the thousands of people that knew him," he said.
"When Peter was in Formula 1 he helped me to build it to what it is today.
Thank you Peter."

PS:现在的 Lotus 与文中的 Team Lotus 本质上已不是同一支车队了 差很大
Colin Chapman 是 Lotus 的创办人
Mansell 在1980~1984开 Lotus,Senna 则是在1985~1987
