Ferrari mourn Roberto Nosetto

Ferrari are mourning the loss of former sporting director Roberto Nosetto, who passed away on Thursday.

Nosetto was the team's sporting director during the late 1970s before taking a role as the Imola circuit's director and then as the race director for MotoGP.

Nosetto spent the last years of his life at his home in Gallipoli before passing away on Thursday.

"The death of Roberto Nosetto has saddened me deeply," said Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali.

"Apart from his name being irrevocably linked to the history of Scuderia Ferrari, for me personally, he was a very important person, because it was under his tenure at the Imola circuit that I began my career in motor sport, when as a student, I tried to find things to do in the paddock, learning as much as possible from him, from his experience and above all, from his gentle nature."
