In days of yore, I recall enjoying seeing the winners being taken around the track in the back of an open car or on a truck waving and smiling. Seemed somehow more democratic and humble.
Probably why it'll never happen again.

I agree, it probably will never happen again.
But wouldn't it be nice, though!!!!!!

The tradition of spraying of the Champagne was credited to Dan Gurney after winning Le Mans in '67. A.J. was his team mate and also took part....
Ever since most winners of a race that have champagne available, indulge in the liberty of spraying the bubbly all over the place!

The XXXI Australian Grand prix was at Lakeside on 22 Feb 1966 - sixteen months before the Le Mans win.

Also with Graham Hill in mind when he won at Longford in 1964 he filled the Trophy with champers took a sip then proceeded to spit it at everyone, hows that for a podium celebration

At the Chermside Caravilla... don't know how I came to be there, but I was at the table with the mechanics and some journos... saw the blushing faces of the waitresses over one of Graham's speeches... and we all had some of the champagne.
Old Sid Sakzewski's gone now, and Lakeside looks like it's as good as gone. The Tasman's gone.
We'd better keep the memories lingering...

Dan and Foyt's celebration on the podium at Le Mans '67 was screened in umpteen countries around the world - as Ford ensured it would be - and that is undoubtedly the point from which the habit became established.
I really enjoyed the days of Saudia-Williams sponsorship, when in deference to their Saudi sponsors' attitude to consumption of alcohol (in public), Jonesie, Regazzoni and Reutemann etc would carefully set the bubbly down beside them and drink water or orange juice, and only occasionally would indulge in spraying that fizzy Froggie stuff around.

Will Corina file for divorce due to the high level of making out that Schumy would be subject to?

Last I saw, the champers was shared out with second and third placegetters too.

I can hardly wait.

In his recently published autobiography, Jackie Stewart claims that it was he who - accidentally - instigated champagne spraying in F1 at the 1969 Dutch GP. He was handed a bottle which had apparently been left in the sun. On opening it, it started spraying all over the place and, being a good and prudent Scot, he attempted to staunch the flow by putting his thumb over the bottle .....
He acknowledges that Gurney had preceded him with the antics at Le Mans, but doesn't mention Graham's exploits at Lakeside.
(The BRM team at Lakeside consisted of Hill and Stewart, but Jackie retired just before half distance, so perhaps he'd already left the circuit before the finish?)
Ray: perhaps you could repost the picture?;)

Indeed, Michael, which was why I specified "in F1" - as does JYS. My main point was that he'd been at Lakeside ....Originally posted by fines

Equally, can anyone come up with this happening in F1 before the 1969 Dutch GP?

I don't recall whether Jackie was still there or not, but I would reckon he was about somewhere... and I don't even recall if he was at the party that night, come to think of it. But if he wasn't, he would have been very much alone as all the BRM guys were there.
Unfortunately, I can't just go back to the post and edit in a new url for the pic, so it has to be here out of order:

This was in the same magazine at the same race and it's the same dais. I thought I should just make the picture complete.
