    On June 5, 1982 John Watson drove a sensational Detroit GP, hurling his McLaren MP4/1B from 17th on the grid to stunning victory. Often underrated today, "Wattie" was not only quick but also a mighty overtaker. '82 was his best season: he missed the championship by just 5 points.

    On this day, '70 Rodriguez (BRM) won the last GP to be held at the old Spa. Just 1.1sec behind at the flag was Amon (March), who drove a dizzying 152mph lap en route. Pic: Stewart (March, car #11) on pole, Rindt (Lotus, #20), Amon (March, #10) & Ickx (Ferrari, #27) at the start.

    Notice the Acura "glare strip" on Berger's helmet.

    Fantastic then and now. Incredible high speed circuit and incredibly dangerous, the cars had the structural integrity of a matchbox. Max Verstappen would not have survived one season in this era.

    Image Unavailable, Please Login I think this one is from 1991 in Canada, but with Senna at the wheel. Again, notice the Acura glare strip. Usually, the glare strip would say HONDA but in the USA and Canada, eh . . .

    Fabulous photo, from the time that F1 cars could still start three-abreast. It was amazing that at a high-speed circuit like Spa, three Cosworth V-8 powered cars were able to outqualify the V-12s, and that a Lotus 49 was still fast enough to make the front row. And to think how close Robin Herd came to inventing ground-effect F1 cars with those sidepod, inverted-airfoil-shaped fuel tanks.

    There had been some question about whether the 1970 race included a chicane at the Malmedy corner, but I recently saw a video of the race showing the chicane definitely in use. The remnants of that chicane have apparently largely been reclaimed by nature.

    And with Ickx's Ferrari barely visible back in 8th place - look to the right of Stewart's airbox.

    Important day for all fans, friends, employees & ex-employees of McLaren: the half-centenary of the team's 1st ever GP win, at the old Spa, on June 9 '68, the company's founder at the wheel of his papaya orange M7A.

    One of the best photos I ever took at Montreal was my first time there in 1982: Pironi's Ferrari on what would be his pole-winning lap. To take this photo today, you'd have to be standing in the pit entrance lane, since the pits were still just after the hairpin and the area now occupied by the pits and garages was a popular spectator area.

    Yeah, BRM and Ferrari had dreadful years. People complain now about Ferrari having a bad year but....7 points, really?

    Amon's only podium was a 3rd in Holland. But cruelly, he had a huge lead in Spain when the car let him down (which had happened twice to him in 1968). The team was putting all its effort into the new flat-12 car which they hoped to have had ready for Monza, but continuing reliability issues caused Amon to walk away - Pedro Rodriguez was their only starter late in the season - and the new car did not appear until 1970. In those late races they had given up on the 1969-spec engine and put the 1968-spec engine back in the car.

    I smile at the simple chalk markings indicating the Car's # and position.

    '66 Surtees won the Belgian GP in pouring rain in his Ferrari 312 (pic). It was the GP in which Stewart crashed into a telegraph pole at Masta Kink & landed in a ditch; he was then trapped in his BRM P261, with a broken shoulder, waist-deep in fuel, for 25 minutes.
