John Surtees is the only person to have won world championships in the premier Motorcycle GP class and Formula 1. He passed away overnight our time aged 83.

Note: The original nofification I saw quoted an MBE. Later, less rushed ones, state CBE. There was a move in recent times to get him a knighthood like Sir Jack and Sir Jackie but to no avail.
