While rooting through my basement, I came across some F-1 picture I took in the 70s.  This was the Brabham Alfa Martini pit at the 1977 Japan Grand Prix.

The pits consisted of little more then a wall (with Hans Stuck) and a handfull of pit crew. Bernie was the team owner and John Watson the other driver.

 

Here is John's car in the pit lane

Something to be said for racing with no more than half a dozen pit personnel and a couple of groupies :smoking:

Great photos!  Gotta love those huge rear / small front tyres.

I think the six man rule would enhance the enjoyment of F-1. 2.5 sec. Pit stops, come on.

Flared trousers should be made mandatory, too!

Probably, I posted some other pictures there a while ago but forgot about the thread and this one was to point out where f-1 has progressed/fallen to.
