HENRY SURTEES 1991-2009

 
A Tribute to Henry Surtees from Jonathan Palmer
Henry Surtees died on Sunday 19 July 2009 following a tragic accident at Brands Hatch whilst competing in round eight of the 2009 FIA Formula Two Championship. Henry’s cruel death robbed the sport of a delightful, honest and popular young man whose talent suggested a bright career lay ahead of him.
 
A tribute from John Surtees
Henry had followed his heart from the time he first sat in a kart. He treated seriously the balance between motorsport and school having just finished his A' levels. The world beckoned.
 
Thank you for your support

Jane, Edwina, Leonora and myself are obviously devastated by the tragic accident that has happened to Henry.

However, we would like to send out a sincere thank you for the support that has been so generously given.  The wonderful letters, cards and email messages received has shown how Henry touched so many people’s hearts and provides us with tremendous comfort at this very difficult time.

Thank you.
