We wish a happy one to Johnny Cecotto who turns 70 today.
The Venezuelan is the last of a very select group of racers who competed at the highest level of motorsport on two and four wheels.
Cecotto rose to prominence as a teenage prodigy in 1975 when he became at 19 the youngest ever rider to win a world championship, the young talent defeating that year motorcycle legend Giacomo Agostini in the 350cc category.
In 1980, he made his four-wheel debut with Minardi in the European F2 Championship, graduating to Formula 1 in 1983 with Theodore Racing before moving on to Toleman a year later where he raced alongside rookie Ayrton Senna.
During his 24-month spell at the pinnacle of motorsport, he scored points just once, in his second race, the US Grand Prix West at Long Beach where he finished sixth, a performance that stood as the best result of a Venezuelan driver in F1 until Pastor Maldonado's triumph with Williams 29 years later in the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.
