Perhaps. I have it somewhere on my computer, but I am afraid to post it (and get the copyright gestapo on my back!)

What's the story behind the tape? To keep his gloves in one piece?

I hate to say but this picture is telling so much

Clark spooked by the Spa track, scared the crap out of him, but he was damn good at it, but back then it was frightening in those cars, that's the expression on his face.



Senna that whole weekend had it's destiny spooked look on him.

Anyone have a picture of Jimmy in the works Lotus Cortina aiming for the photographer, on full opposite lock....brilliant stuff or maybe Ronald Peterson, at 150mph through the old Woodcote, rear tyres screeching, flicking it onto opposite lock I was at Silverstone that year, it was awesome, something so very special

MY ALL TIME FAVORITES, WIN AT ALL COSTS It won't ever get better these two in my view.

On the left, the mentally driven Schumacher
On the right the emotionally driven Brazilian
Rain Masters
Hate to lose
Love to win
all those drives frozen in the f1 tides of time, seemed only yesterday it was the present, now they are legends.
It's sad they won't grace f1 tracks the same way again, kinda made all other drivers less interesting.

Thanks for the memories champs.

practically Niki can look you in the eye and say: I've been in hell... where have you been?

That photo of Niki, at "that track" took skill and big gonads!!! Great photo, keep them coming!

Some great stuff here , I love the one of Gilles staring at Didier....very eerie...

Love that Lauda picture.

Is this the Clark picture? For some reason I can't upload it.http://atlasf1.autosport.com/99/bra/preview/horton.html

Damn, imageshack is blocked here at work.

this can only make sense if its during testing

Great pictures, all. Glorius you may want to read this:

There's some better ones of them making pit stops but i couldn't find them.

The shot of James Hunt makes me proud to be British.

Oh what an image! Oh my Hero! Meeting him was such an honour (even if it was only for a few minutes on that Sunday morning). Niki You ROCK!!!!

Thanks!

Obviously I'll never forget that day, at least I didn't bother to watch the rest of the rest. You see a pic like this and his facial expressions before the race on video and feel like shouting 'get out of there' but if he did he would have probably got hell for it. At least he would have been alive. Even though it was obvious he was uneasy before the race I'm sure he didn't know what was ahead which was a good thing.

Anyway this is of topic and I'm rambling silly (boozy) me.

Anyway some of these photos are awesome I have to say especially Hakkinen Flying, the 4 80s legends and especially the glowing BMW I love that, really love that captures why I totally love F1 and motorsport and will do till the day I die even working alongside football mad Glaswegian.

Can we have more pics from the 50s/60s please? Its not World Championship but the 30s are brilliant pics of that please!!

There's a great headshot out there somewhere of Keke which the local magazines used in every driver profile of him twenty + years ago... he's got the 1,000 yard stare happening, and an inverted V of cigarette smoke billowing from his nostrils; quintessential Keke...

Loved the shot of Lauda too...

And the 312T5 shot of GV on lock will ever be a favourite...

He used to own a Kart track here in Indianapolis and there was a huge framed picture of that in the lobby. It was awesome and I searched several times on the net but never found it either.

Let's see here:

One or more tyres on grass/dirt: check
Big cloud of dust/debris from same: check
Opposite lock: check
Evil handling car (redundant but still): check
Sparks: check

I'd say that pretty much meets all criteria for awesome.

Absolute insanity: look where those 2 spectators are standing! looking at these pictures, i can't help to think that the lack of safety did make the sport incredibly spectacular, a tale of heroes.

Looking at the cockpit of the 80's ferrari (posted above)... it shows that all the electronics were in the drivers brain. Look at the cockpit dials: watertemp, revs, oil and fuel... that's all. Call me nostalgic but nowadays you can take any playstation fool, put him in the gym, educate him about exactly where the limits of the car are and how not to overdrive, and put him in a car.

Back then it was about real men, their talent and courage.

That's a very poignant photo, Schumacher and Hakkinen both conversing with the heirs to their respected thrones.

1st senna win at estoril 85; warr greets da silva.

Allegedly Mika and Michael used to chat to the bakcmarkers and "instruct" them on how to let them though when they were gonig to be lapped later in the day. But I'm sure there was some other teaching going on that day too.

it'd be great if you had some of these in desktop wallpaper size ;)

How about this one ?

Try going to http://www.sutton-images.com/ and in the search box type cata10038a.jpg

You can then buy it as different sized prints or canvas.

This image has always amused me, Hill showing his appreciation of Schumacher at a test

Best thread ever. That pic of Gilles with his rear wheel on the grass is unbelievable. I also love the one of Nikki flying in the Ferrari at Pflanzgarten (I think that´s where it must be).

The pick of James Hunt is like something taken from every mans wildest dream:
Winning an F1 race;
Chilling on the car, beer and smoke in hand;
An absolutely stunning readhead in a GOLD jumpsuit sitting next to you, waiting for you to finish the beer and smoke so that you can take her to the nearest suitable location and get her out of said gold jumpsuit

Fantastic thread - thanks for starting it

Cheers also to all the great contributers - keep them coming

hunt´s last gp at monte carlo working for walter wolf racing. his substitute was a certain keijo rosberg.

love that T shirt

really amazing photo's here....

Is that real??? Class. Would love to see it in a bigger resolution.

What a man. Hunt must have seen and done more in his 45 years than the majority do in a lifetime.

The thing is, look at MS's body language. He's leaning in, clearly expressing interest in Alonso.
Hakka is looking is looking contemplative, as if he's in deep thought over what's being said.

Now, it might just be two guys in full on "How To Win Friends and Influence People" mode, but it's obviously not a "master-servant" scenario.
