He'd also revealed Jenson Button. Rest in peace.

I can't find any confirmation of this.  Any links?

One of the toughest negotiators in the business. Hope his son also gives the team owners sleepless nights.

 

RIP.

Sad news, RIP. Perhaps the MBPartners tie-up was because his passing on was anticipated, good to know that Steve will still be on hand should the need arise, he's as equally savvy and as important as equally respected as his father was.

One of the finest managers, and if you ask Kimi, one of the finest human beings. I think he let Kimi live in a part of his own house during his initial lower-formulae competition years in Britain.

Rest in peace Steve.

You've got them messed up. David was a father of Steve, who's the current man behind Kimi.

I think Steve in this case is the poster himself. Well that is my assumption. :)
