Motor Sport: Formula One designer Harvey Postlethwaite has died during a test session in Spain. He was 55.

Postlethwaite was overseeing a test session for Honda's new F1 car at the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona when he suffered a heart attack in the pit-lane.

In more than two decades in the sport, he designed cars for Ferrari, Hesketh and Wolf before joining Honda following the buy-out of the Tyrrell team, with whom he was closely associated, by British American Racing.

Team boss Eddie Jordan led the tributes to Postlethwaite, saying: "The news of Harvey's death has come as a great shock. Harvey was an academic and true gentleman. He was always so committed and enthusiastic. This is a sad blow to Formula One."
