Top Gear's Sabine Schmitz has died aged 51 after a three-year battle with cancer.

The German, dubbed the 'Queen of the Nurburgring', revealed last July that she had been suffering from 'an extremely persistent cancer' since 2017.

Schmitz was best known to British audiences for her appearances on the BBC's Top Gear programme, including races with Jeremy Clarkson, Chris Evans and Paddy McGuinness.
