Then and now...

Stumbled across this picture from the seventies





I started wondering what about now... (two drivers will obviously be missing)

[Great Dane]

And Grouillard... ( I even saw two of his F1 races...)

Of course it was Gaillard - early morning sorry

I love those paddock shots. F1 teams in the mid 70s seem to have had about the same level of technical support as the average sprinter or hill climber has today.

Don't anyone tell me we live in tough economic times.

Re above and below... these were the top outfits... imagine the lower teams







So much for the modern drivers' air conditioned units with physios etc...



Love the boy in the background having a look at the racing driver...


I couldn't resist this one... how does this compare to the RBR or Mclaren resting areas for their drivers???

The saddest part is that while I recognise the faces in the first picture, there is only Arnoux who I would recognise now, without a caption.

Frightening when you think about the man-in-the-mirror.

they are in order left to right..
