We are all sad Alesi is stopping, says DC.
David Coulthard and Rubens Barrichello have today paid homage to Jean Alesi who will retire from F1 after Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix.
Coulthard told the media: "It's a shame in a way that he's stopping, because of the passion that he has for the sport. He is undoubtedly a unique character in Formula One, of which there is no one like Jean. I think we're all sad that he's stopping"

Barrichello added: "I think Jean is very very fair on the track. He's one of the nicest guys on the track. If he's being lapped he's very fair, but probably my best memory is the first time that I finished second, my really first time, was '95 Canada when he won his first race, so we have a fantastic podium. That's my best memory with Jean."
