Rare F1 photos

Post

I frequently come across interesting pics worth sharing, but there's usually no suitable topic to put them in. So I thought about starting a topic just for that purpose.

Senna in Sinclair C5

Recently I saw one with cameraman tied with ropes to an F1 car from the sixties, but I can't find it now. :(

The Sinclair C5 was a battery electric vehicle invented by Sir Clive Sinclair and launched in the United Kingdom on 10 January 1985. It was a battery-assisted tricycle steered by a handlebar beneath the driver's knees. Powered operation was possible making it unnecessary for the driver to pedal. Its top speed of 15 miles per hour (24 km/h), was the fastest allowed in the UK without a driving licence. It sold for £399 plus £29 for delivery. It became an object of media and popular ridicule during 1980s Britain and was a commercial disaster, selling only around 12,000 units.
Formula One's fundamental ethos is about success coming to those with the most ingenious engineering and best .............................. organization, not to those with the biggest budget. (Dave Richards)
