EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a defining moment in the Formula One World Championship at the British Grand Prix on July 18,1976. Niki Lauda, driving his iconic Ferrari 312T2, leads the pack on the opening lap of the restarted race. However, it was James Hunt in his McLaren M23 who ultimately claimed victory that day. The race itself was shrouded in controversy as Hunt would later be disqualified two months after this eventful day. Allegations arose suggesting that he did not run under his own steam when the race was originally stopped on the first lap. Despite this cloud hanging over him, Hunt's triumph remains etched in history. In an unfortunate turn of events captured subtly in the background of this image, marshals attend to a collision between Guy Edwards and Bob Evans at Paddock Hill Bend. This serves as a stark reminder of both the danger and excitement that accompanies every Formula One race. Brands Hatch circuit provides a picturesque backdrop for this thrilling spectacle with its lush greenery and undulating terrain. The crowd can be seen eagerly watching from their vantage points as these legendary drivers battle it out for glory. This remarkable photograph is a testament to motorsport's rich history and showcases some of its most iconic figures competing at their best amidst intense competition and unforeseen circumstances.
