In this image from the 1973 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen International, British racing driver Brian Redman (GBR) is seen in the cockpit of his Shadow DN1 during the Formula One World Championship race. The fourth-entered Shadow DN1 was Redman's ticket to compete against the best drivers in the world that day. However, the race did not go as planned for the determined racer. As the green flag waved, Redman made a bold move to overtake a rival car during the formation lap. Unfortunately, this maneuver resulted in him receiving a bump start, which was against the rules. The infraction was discovered during the race, and Redman was disqualified on lap six. Despite the disappointing outcome, Redman's determination and spirit were evident in this action-packed moment at the iconic Watkins Glen circuit. The American Grand Prix was a significant event on the Formula One calendar, and Redman's presence added to the excitement and competition. This photograph, taken by renowned motorsport photographer Phipps/Sutton from Motorsport Images, captures the intensity and raw power of Formula One racing during the 1970s. The image is a testament to the passion and dedication of the drivers, teams, and fans who were part of this thrilling era in motorsport history. The United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen was an event that showcased the very best of American motorsport, and this photograph is a reminder of the excitement and drama that unfolded on the track that day. Redman's disqualification may have been a setback, but it did not diminish the impact he had on the race or the legacy of Formula One racing in the United States.
