    No, it was Jacky Ickx, for sure.
    Merzario always raced with white helmets on.

    Did Ickx have tobacco sponsorship by Marlboro, I thought that he had personal sponsorship with Kent?

    You couldn't beat the heat, either.

    Ickx has had Kent and Marlboro as tobacco sponsors, when driving for Ferrari. Later in the Lotus years JPS of course.

    Excellent thread and enjoying every page. Since it is Tuesday, thought I’d mention Ron Paul’s unbelievable career thread in ‘Other Racing’ for newer members. Fascinating photos and posts regarding racing and drivers await from 1970 to 1989.

    I was at the Glen in 1976 and 1980 at the boot. The Glen at the boot was wild!! I believe Giacomelli in the Alfa led in 1980 then broke, and Alan Jones won. Remember 76 seeing the smoke from the Ickx crash!

    In that photo, it was indeed Jacky Ickx. While he essentially walked away from the team following the failure of the original B3 (first and last photos in the same post), he was persuaded to give the revised "B3S" a try at Monza, where the photo was taken. I guess he wasn't impressed, because he never drove a Ferrari again. Merzario drove the car in all the other 1973 races from Austria onward, to little effect.

    It's amazing that the same chassis, admittedly heavily modified, did so well the following year!

    Yeah, I think that they were considered a "movable aerodynamic device".

    I have seen arguments both ways as to whether the "Spazzaneve" was ever intended to be a race car or was instead designed to be a "rolling laboratory" to test new design ideas. While it never raced, Forghieri adapted many of its design features in the redesigned B3's of both 1973 and 1974 and the very successful T series from 1975 onward. Thus it is still an important car in Ferrari F1 history.

    Some of the cars pictures have MASSIVE rear tires. Does it look that way because the cars were so much smaller or were they genuinely that much bigger than present day? The level of creativety is just staggering.

    No, the tires were really wide in those days!

    Last picture was one of my favourite ones...it was at Monza 1990, there were 2 starts, both times, Alesi was able to overtake Prost in a Ferrari with over 60hp on his ford in the first lap..then he tried to go for Berger but lost it in the first chicane! (when i think of the current drivers com+plaining that they can't overtake with DRS and a more powerfull engine!! Sure, aero makes it much more difficlut, but lack of real talent and balls doesn't help either!

    I emphatically agree Pedro. Gilles, Alesi and Ronnie Peterson all had incredible car control and could race wheel-to-wheel with anyone--something rarely seen in F1 these days. I was always puzzled by Alesi's grip on the steering wheel. He positioned his hands at 11 and 1 o'clock, could never figure that out but it certainly worked for him.

    Does he hold the record for most F1 starts without a win?

    "De Crasheris" is lucky he did not live in an earlier era - it's doubtful he would have survived. Actually you can say that about everyone on trumpet77's list.
