Not only did Tony photograph the F1 cars, he has several images of F1 drivers. A few of which later died on the track, so Tony told me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image with Tony speaking to the driver was a photo I found when helping clean out his unit. It is just an iPhone image of the photo. If you do not recognise a young Tony, it is the image with three people in it and Tony is on the left (last image in list).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EDIT: from Paul Harper: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow. I have seen some of these before, but not all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top left, Dan Gurney – great American driver who started the tradition of spraying champagne on the winners podium. When he won at Le Mans, he no doubt appalled the french organisers by spraying his bottle of champagne over the other winners and anyone else within range! Also invented the little flap on the end of the wing (gurney flap) that greatly increased the downforce produced for very little additional drag. He was a genius engineer as well as a genius driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately below Dan Gurney, Jackie Stewart. Nothing more needs to be said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also a couple of shots of the late great Graham Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have seen the pic of Tony talking to Jacki Ickx<\/a> before. Amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EDIT2: Top right is Karl Jochen Rindt. He was a German-born racing driver who represented Austria during his career. In 1970, he was killed during practice for the Italian Grand Prix and became the only driver to be posthumously awarded the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship. (Source: Wikipedia) His name is on his racing suit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driver to the right of Jackie Stewart is probably Pedro Rodr\u00edguez de la Vega from Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third row left is Mike Spence, Spa 1967. I found a copy of the image Tony put on the web. He was killed in an accident in 1968 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Middle of the top row is Jo Bonnier, Swedish driver. He was killed in the 1972 Le Mans race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom row, middle image, Guy Ligier, French driver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
