"His death has deprived us of a champion, one that I loved very much. My past is scarred with grief; parents, brother, son. My life is full of sad memories. When I look back and see the faces of my loved ones, among them see him."

And suffer i did . This one for the girlies who know about the other Riccardo on the 1982 grid.
If you want to read this very self-indulgent fic regarding niki and the three niche racers then be my guest! im just glad i got it out.
hopefully its good enough, i had to see a bit too much in the making of this
