EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix, we witness a groundbreaking moment in Formula One history. Aerofoils, which were attached to F1 cars for the very first time, are showcased here on the McLaren M7A driven by race winner Bruce McLaren from New Zealand. The image captures Tyler Alexander, an American team owner and prominent figure in motorsport engineering, examining the rear of the car with great interest. The small aerofoil attached to the engine of McLaren's car stands as a testament to technological innovation and advancement within the sport. This addition aimed to enhance aerodynamic performance and improve downforce during high-speed races like those held at Spa-Francorchamps circuit. Bruce McLaren's triumphant victory at this iconic event solidified his place in racing history while also highlighting his exceptional driving skills combined with cutting-edge engineering techniques. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can't help but appreciate how far Formula One has come since that historic day in June 1968.
