EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures the historic moment at the British Grand Prix held on July 13,1986, at Brands Hatch in England. Standing proudly on the podium are three legendary Formula One drivers - Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, and Alain Prost. In the center stands a jubilant Nigel Mansell, representing Williams Racing team as he clinched victory that day. However, what makes this image truly remarkable is Virginia Williams, wife of Frank Williams, who courageously stepped forward to collect the Constructors trophy on behalf of her husband. This act marked a significant milestone in Formula One history as she became the first woman ever to receive such an honor on a Formula One podium. Frank Williams was unable to attend due to his ongoing recovery from a tragic car accident. Nevertheless, Virginia's presence symbolized strength and resilience within the sport. Her inclusion shattered gender barriers and showcased women's growing influence in motorsport. The atmosphere surrounding this photograph is one of triumph and unity among competitors and their loved ones alike. It serves as a testament not only to exceptional racing talent but also to determination in overcoming adversity. Preserved by Motorsport Images photographer Phipps/Sutton, this snapshot immortalizes an unforgettable moment that forever changed Formula One's landscape while inspiring generations of aspiring racers worldwide.
