Great photos Andreas !! How true about the early days of open access and pit walks... My story is similar to Spirot's but it also involves some cute French-Canadian man winning his first race, the first one I attended .....
Enzo was right.... I first got exposed to F1 in dry and dusty Phoenix Arizona as a boy in the 60's going to the theater to see the movie "Grand Prix" in the only theater in town showing it in Cinerama. I begged my parents to take me. It was my "Star Wars". I've hooked on F1 and Ferrari ever since.
