After digging a bit in the StatsF1 agenda, I found two more recent deaths in Formula 1.
On October 31st, Roberto Lippi died. Born in 1926, he entered three Italian GPs in the early 60's, qualifying in 1961, but failing to finish. All three entries were for his own Scuderia Settecolli. In his other non -championship races, he managed two top-5 finishes before returning to Formula Junior. He died at 85.
Rest in Peace: Roberto Lippi - 17/10/1926 - 31/10/2011
On December 3rd, Rob Schroeder died. Like Lippi, he was born in 1926. He entered the 1962 United States Grand Prix in a private Lotus entered by John Mecom. He finished the race in tenth. He also finished sixth in that year's non-championship Mexico Grand Prix. He also died at 85.
Rest in Peace: Robert "Rob" Schroeder - 11/05/1926 - 03/12/2011
RIP: Roberto Lippi and Rob Schroeder
