EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling world of Formula One racing in 1968. The image captures the intense atmosphere of the Mexican Grand Prix held in Mexico City on November 3rd. Jo Siffert, the pole position man from Switzerland, can be seen behind the wheel of his Rob Walker entered Lotus Cosworth 49B. Despite starting at the front of the grid, Siffert's race did not go as planned. Battling against fierce competition and a challenging circuit, he could only manage a sixth-place finish. The disappointment is palpable on his face as he navigates through one of Mexico City's iconic corners. This photograph perfectly encapsulates both the triumphs and tribulations that come with competing in Formula One. It serves as a reminder that even for talented drivers like Siffert, success cannot always be guaranteed on race day. The timeless quality of this image adds to its allure; it transports us back to an era when motor racing was raw and unfiltered. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the roar of engines and feel our hearts pound with anticipation. For motorsport enthusiasts and history buffs alike, this print is a cherished piece capturing a momentous chapter in Formula One's rich heritage.
