The death of Swiss Formula One pioneer Baron Emmanuel deGraffenried at the age of 92 marks the end of a chapter in Switzerland's involvement in Grand Prix racing.
DeGraffenried was born in Paris in 1914.
DeGraffenried, who came from a noble Bernese family, cut a dapper figure and had many acquaintances in high places.
The dapper, trim profile of "Toulo"deGraffenried continued to be a familiar sight in the European Grand Prix paddocks more than 40 years after he won the second postwar British Grand Prix to be held at Silverstone in 1949.
In the early 1930s deGraffenried drove his own private 1.5-liter Maserati in national events at Berne's Bremgarten circuit, striking out to take part in overseas races in partnership with an old school friend John de Puy.
In retirement deGraffenried continued his successful Lausanne-based garage which had sold Alfa Romeos since 1950 and later also Rolls-Royces and Ferraris.
