The half a head, I will suggest, is someone with their torso in the left side of the cockpit. There's a third guy on the right side of the car with his hand in the air and nothing else visible, there are seven hats on the left side of the car.

Now that would be something to get the 7 DRIVERS as well it would have really been scrapping along the road.

I don't know if this question wasn't already posted, but... in the sixties, wouldn't you burn your bum if you sat down on the back? Is that why some of the chaps are standing up?

And in reply to Chezrone question not only would get burnt but also you get a bill for repairs to the engine cover they were only light guage alloy or f/glass .

Davison might not have been feeling much pain....His gearbox failed just near the Pub early in the race.

These modern cars have decent seating, a footrest [floor] and plenty of hand grips. Ideal for passenger service. Fernando looks quite comfortable there. Though I still would like to know the repercussions!...and we thought it couldn't happen in F1 these days:

The famous one: Mansell gives Senna a lift back to the paddock on the Victory Lap of the 1991 British Grand Prix:

I recall stories at the time to the effect that Ayrton had made a point of memorising some of the details of the Williams' instrumentation and gizmos, and duly reported the information back to the McLaren engineers! Mansell even received some criticism for supposedly allowing a rival to "spy" in this way....!

Bringing the sport into disrepute would be a pretty difficult thing to do these days. The difficulty would lie in the verb 'bringing' Then there's the use of the noun 'sport'...

Amazingly there were no sanctions! It happened at the end of the race: Alonso stopped on the circuit because the team thought he was low on fuel for the mandatory post-race sample and Webber kindly stopped to pick him up. The FIA later issued a po-faced statement saying that Webber would not face any sanctions for stopping on the return to the pits to pick Alonso up - even though it could have been viewed as a breach of the rule requiring cars to proceed directly to parc ferme. Presumably, Alonso was guilty of that crime too.Thanks for keeping the thread going Amphicar ,i too thought we would not see this thing happening in F1 today.

Not Tino n' Pino at Monza - but in the same spirit of mechanics going the extra mile (well, perhaps not that far in Pino's case):
Goodyear gave the chap on the back of Dan Gurney's Eagle Weslake the task of observing tyre deformation during tyre tests at Goodwood
The Goodyear engineer on the back is Bert Baldwin, who later moved on to Bridgestone.

A colour shot of the Gulf-Porsche:I'm surprised that there have been no comments on the Trevor Harris photo - it certainly made me laugh. I seem to have run out of F1 examples but here's another Daytona 24 hour winner, this time from 1971.
Jackie Oliver is at the wheel of the winning JW Automotive Gulf-Porsche 917 and Pedro Rodriguez is on top with various mechanics, including Ermanno Cuoghi (right front wing), author of Racing Mechanic.

I make it 6 in the first one - two on the passenger seat (plus driver) and 4 on the tail ? And I can only make out 6 in the second one.
I can make it 7 in the second shot. There's a bit of forehead and dark hair between the two passengers on the right.

(1) Hat with someone making bunny ears above it,
(2) No hat half behind door,
(3) Hat and chest medallion,
(4) Hat and flag,
(5) Under the flag waver's arm, no hat and moustache,
(6) Hat with a hand holding a hat growing out of his head
Oh, and the driver makes 7
Either way, the car would be down on the bump stops.

There is also a bit of a hat behind (2). Is that (3) holding the hat of (2) or is it another person?

If there is another person behind (2) and (3) and I'm right about another person on the right, that's nine in total. I might be wrong but I think I see at least five legs hanging over the right hand side of the car and I doubt Jake The Peg was part of the crew.

Elly actually drove herself: http://petrolhead.tu...advices-to-ellyAre there any pre war photos of people getting lifts? Is there one of Rosemeyer giving his wife a ride in his auto-Union?
Mercedes Benz had a specially-adapted W125 two-seater, which was used to shoot a propaganda film at the 1939 Eifelrennen meeting. In breaks between filming the team drivers were allowed to give joyrides on it: I know Caracciola took Neubauer out and Seaman took Erica, but if anyone has any other details (or any photos) ...;)
