Teixeira's statement reads as follows:
'I want to send my personal condolences and those of everyone involved in A1GP World Cup of Motorsport to Jane and John Surtees after the tragic death of their son Henry at the weekend.
John is a great ambassador for motorsport and when I met him through his involvement with our series I realised why. He was a devoted father to Henry, and I know he was a son who was not only likely to follow in his footsteps as a racing driver, but also as a person who gave a hundred per cent to everything he did.
Sadly this accident highlights the dangers involved in the sport and makes us all appreciate certain things in life. I hope Jane and John can gain some comfort from knowing the respect all of them have in motorsport worldwide. Our thoughts go out to both of them at this difficult time.'
