As I'm pretty new here, I'm certain there are at least half a dozen of threads like this one, but this is one of my all time favourites, Andrea spark-spraying Alain in 1986;

Monza 1971, winning with 0.01s at 180 mph, not much to beat that one;

This is probably my favourite image ever...

It ensconces everything about F1 that got me into it in that era - Nigel Mansell, Eau Rouge, sparks, speed....

F1 is also about the people we like to watch (and complain about). :p

My favorite. Schlegelmilch Is peerless for his longevity and talent as far as photogs go. I've got 2 coffee table books of his and I never get tired of thumbing through, he's personally documented everything from the late 60s until today. There is also something to be said for getting a shot of that quality without digital manipulation.

Edit: that first spark photo is one of his as well.

A true awe inspiring moment, I remember it well. But that shot has zero sense of drama at all. Clinical but no passion.

It would be great if one really took a judgement on the quality of the picture and how 'powerful' it is before posting it. That could make this an excellent thread.  :up:

Wesley Graves, next to Lewis. It's a sad story, racing clearly effected his education. Article here: http://www.theguardi...eatures.comment

He certainly comes across as bitter and frankly it's his own fault for not giving himself other options in life. There are plenty of racing drivers who've worked jobs they hate to earn a living before becomming professional.

Actually; I think in this case the parents possibly were a bit too pushy and put all his eggs in one basket on his behalf... My 3 year old sits and watches racing on the telly with me, but I don't stick him in a go-kart or spend £2k a month on him racing...

Was this taken at Zolder? Pironi walking away from Villeneuve's crash scene?

I assume so, I have looked for something to either support or disprove it but not found it, probably not a very thorough search. Truth be told, I probably want to believe it is.
