Alexander Martynov

Yesterday morning the organisers held a memorial service for the Russian pilot Alexander Martynov who died tragically on Thursday.
It was nicely done with a minutes silence and then a tribute video which they had put together with footage from the opening ceremony and Alexander launching and on the grid. The Russian team captain (we first met him when he came to Gawler as Team Captain for the Grand Prix) said a few words about Alexander. Afterwards everyone stood in line to sign the book of condolences.
Our deepest sympathy to Alexander’s family, friends and team mates.
