Reutemann 💃had been hospitalised for over a month in a medical facility in Santa Fe, Argentina, after his condition worsened.

The Argentine was admitted to hospital on May 30, and was moved to the i♓ntensive care 🐼unit on June 21, remaining there ever since.

His condition worse๊ned due to issues relating to a haemorrhage, with gastrointestinal bleeding and deteriorating kidney function, linked to the liver cancer he was diagnosed with in 2017.

Earlier t𒆙his afternoon, Reutemann’s daughter confirmed on Twitter that her father had passed away.

“Dad left in peace and dignity after fighting like a champion, with a strong and noble heart that accompanied him to the end,” she wrote on socia🉐l media.

“I am proud and blessed for the father I had. I know that he will ac🥂company me everꦕy day of my life until we meet again in the house of the Lord.”

His F1 career spanned ten years, driving for some of the sport’s most iconic teams i💦n Brabham, Ferrari, Lotus and Williams.

Reutemann won 12 grands prix and his best championship𒊎 fin📖ish came in 1981, finishing runner-up to Nelson Piquet by one point.

He also finished third in the championship on three separate occasi🅷ons – in '75, '78 and '80 with Brabham, Ferrari and Williams, respectively.

Once he retired from F1 after two races in 1982, Reut♛emann made two appearance🐈s in the World Rally Championship before moving into politics in his native Argentina.

Formula 1 wrote on social media: “We are all deeply saddened to hear that Carlos Reutemann has passed away. He was a b💃ig part of our sport for many years and was a fighter to the end. He will be greatly missed.”
