So, I’m of the opinion that we’re looking at the handiwork of the 19-year old Prost, showing the skills of a Formula 3 champion, which he already was, and the signs of the greatness yet to come in F1. The excitement and anticipation of the drivers, the longing to put the knowledge of the off season testing and tech changes finally to proof in actual race conditions, the first drivers’ meetings of the season, the beautiful people and the eyes of the international sporting world focused.

Peterson, as with von Trips, died in flames at Monza. @Randiego: Oh, I dunno. I liked the one or two pedestrians jumping out of the way, and the woman walking her dog by the garbage truck. well, probably 12 people would buy it, but I’d be one!). Monza was renovated over a period of two months at the beginning of 1948 and a Grand Prix was held on 17 October 1948. Here is an awesome clip for any not familiar with the classic movie.

(Now, if only someone would bring out a compendium of Henry Manney IV’s writing and Bernard Cahier’s photography, …. @P J Evans: Oh, it is definitely way fun; no question. After reading his wiki, I think you’re right – the then 25 year old Arnoux would be a better candidate! The Phillies look unbeatable with Hammel, Halliday, Worley and Lee, what an ERA! Phil and Gurney laid out most all of it for original race promoter Chris Pook. Because the 275 is inelegant and balky when launching from a standing start, they were committed to keeping the whole run between 2nd and 5th gear – which meant running the red lights. Monza je italské město v oblasti Lombardie v provincii Milano.Od 11. Collectively, the Cahiers have been covering F1 and top flite motor racing for going on 60 years, and continue to this very day. I would like to personally thank Paul-Henri Cahier of the Cahier Archive. Unfortunately, that caused me to miss two absolutely fantastic pieces in Road & Track. Jenson also has been making a push. Halfway around the second lap, Clark had fallen behind von Trips and was trying to re-pass the Ferrari as they sprinted from Vialone to Parabolica. sports writing should be about the sporting event, about the competition, the almost, the win, the player(s), the loss, the death. német autóversenyző, Formula–1-es pilóta volt.

Great work and, independently, John is one heck of a nice man and a star or his own right. The Italian Red will be out in full force, and Fernando is still, when he wants to be, as fast a driver as there is in the Circus. I was hoping Alonso had a bit more to really challenge Vettel, but that was not to be. Undoubtedly the greatest piece of ‘cinema verite’ from a race fan’s point of view, this uber famous clip of a Ferrari 275 roaring down the cobblestone streets of Paris at dawn on a Sunday in ’74 features a 165mph run down the Champs d’Elysee, a split-second decision to veer through the Louvre courtyard to miss a bus and frightening acceleration up the hill at Montmartre! Your post is a festival of stuff I haven’t seen before but will certainly tie up my morning, and happily so. how wonderful to find a sports writer who focuses on the contest and not on the contract, the agent, the owner, the manager. The American President: "I don't know why it would be Russia, probably it is Vaghina". The championship protagonists were two decidedly different characters. @bmaz: Yeah, that was one hell of a wallop he laid on rapist Rothlisberger.

Von Trips qualified on pole position in front of the adoring Tifosi, but he and Jim Clark collided on the run down to the Parabolica. I look forward to the race tomorrow remembering that that is where Moss was damn near killed in the same year that Hawthorn retired after the death of Collins. And, still, no love lost between those two. The Ferrari 275 is an awesome car, one for the ages in many respects.

And this Yankee fan is chortling like a department store Santa. The final race classification had American Dan Gurney second in a Porsche, followed by Bruce Mclaren and Jackie Lewis, both in Cooper-Climaxes. The tires were complaining an awful lot which surprised me. If I had to guess a french driver back then to do that though, it would be Rene Arnoux well before Prost. Report. And Rene did have an FIA Superlicense for F!, though he was legendary as a street and movie stunt driver. Don’t know if you read the bios, but here is the first paragraph from Bernard’s: He was an adventurer from his young days, fighting as a volunteer in WW2 when he was only seventeen, traveling to Cameroon and then to California in 1948 where destiny caught up with him: his first job was working together with Phil Hill selling foreign sports cars in Hollywood, and he married a California girl named Joan.

Well, see, that is one of the problems I saw; the cars and other things higher up off of the pavement did not get overtaken as fast as they would have if the camera car was really going as fast as they wish you to believe.

Alonso blistering to start, but now overtaken by Vettel. Which story is true, we may never know, but I used to know a guy who owned a short-nosed 275, and I can tell you from riding with him that it takes a physically-fit, prodigiously skilled driver to jump on the back of that howling beast and make it perform with silky-smooth elan. Grand post bmaz. Again, as with von Trips, Peterson also, despite his death, still finished second in points, behind his eventual Championship teammate, in this case Andretti.

His two-wheeled thrills tempted Wolfgang to pursue something even more exciting and without any prior experience, von Trips went car racing in a Volkswagen Beetle. Follow. He is an ASU man of course. Everyone makes choices and the guy made his despite many many warnings about the path he was on. Clark lay fourth with Jack Brabham, von Trips and Baghetti behind him. But, if you ask me, the driver working that Ferrari motor shows real race-driver skills – expert heel-and-toeing, accelerating and braking in a straight line, negotiating turns in the high-rpm power band of a single gear, and absolutely phenomenal eyesight! I have, of course, become a straight liver myself…none of the wild times have stuck to me…. Wolfgang von Trips Monza '61.

The last time they played Adrian Peterson set the NFL single game rushing record with about 1,000 yards or so. A trio of Ferraris led the field as they came off the Curva Sud Alta Velocita for the first time to complete lap one, Hill ahead of Ginther and Rodriguez.
