I'll give some of my anorak points away to the first person to name the other two drivers in these pics.

A.J. Foyt Jr was the other Ford driver, but is the other guy Bruce McLaren who didn't actually drive?

Chaps - get your drinks right: whiskey is Irish, whisky is Scottish. The drink in question here is Johnnie Walker Scotch whisky

Jeez, you'll be talking about Australian Champagne next...

This is not the first time that Johnnie Walker have been involved in Formula One. Rob Walker was a decendent of the firm and funded his team from his personal fortune.

One out of two ain't bad. Foyt (who shared the winning Ford MkIV) is on Gurney's left. But who can name the driver on the extreme left of the first picture - a very fine sports car driver, occasional F1 driver and respected development engineer?

Mike Parkes?

Parkes shared the second-placed Ferrari with Ludovico Scarfiotti.

I'd heard that Durex were seriously considering sponsorship but had to pull out (pardon the pun !) because of something to do with TV coverage pre watershed!
