Renault’s Dino Toso passes away

(GMM) Dino Toso, the former aerodynamics boss at Renault's formula one team, passed away at home on Wednesday morning.

Team chief Flavio Briatore revealed in 2006 that Italian countryman Toso, reported to have first fallen ill two years earlier, was battling with cancer.

Earlier this year, Toso – who joined from Jordan in 2001 – stepped down as Renault's director of aerodynamic technology.
