By Syndicated Content By Ramiro Scandolo BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – Former Formula One driver and Argentine politician Carlos Reutemann, who competed for more than a decade at the top of world motorsports, died on Wednesday aged 79. Reutemann had undergone surgery in New York for a hepatic tumor in 2017 and struggled to regain full health. “Dad left in peace and dignity after fighting like a champion with a strong and noble heart that accompanied him to the end,” his daughter Cora tweeted. In a career marked by brilliance behind the wheel and stubborn single-mindedness but also a lack of consistency, Reutemann was considered the greatest Argentine driver after five-time world champion Juan Manuel Fangio whose heyday was in the 1950s.
