EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the Brazilian Grand Prix held in Rio de Janeiro on 29 March 1981. The intensity of Formula One racing is palpable as we witness a pivotal moment in the championship. René Arnoux, driving his Renault RE20B, finds himself at the center of an unfortunate accident that would prematurely end his race. As rain pours down on the track, creating treacherous conditions for all drivers involved, Arnoux's hopes for a successful race take a devastating turn. Just moments after the start, he becomes a victim of an unexpected collision with Villeneuve's car. The impact is captured perfectly by this photograph; it freezes time and immortalizes the chaos unfolding on that fateful first lap. Behind them lurks Marc Surer in his own vehicle, witnessing the dramatic incident unfold before him. His expression reveals both concern and anticipation as he navigates through the wet circuit amidst flying debris. This image serves as a reminder of how unpredictable motorsport can be – one second you're leading the pack, and in an instant, your dreams are shattered. It encapsulates not only raw action but also showcases Brazil's vibrant atmosphere during its iconic Grand Prix event. Motorsport enthusiasts will appreciate this historical snapshot for its ability to transport us back to that rainy day when destiny took an unexpected turn for René Arnoux and forever altered his Formula One World Championship journey.
