EDITORS COMMENTS
Racing into the history books, John Surtees takes the wheel of his iconic Surtees TS9 Ford at the 1971 French Grand Prix. Captured by renowned motorsport photographer Rainer Schlegelmilch, this stunning print showcases the British racing legend in full flight as he navigates the challenging Circuit Paul Ricard on July 4th, 1971.
The TS9 was a remarkable machine, designed to push Surtees to new heights after his switch from Ferrari. With its sleek lines and powerful engine, it was a force to be reckoned with on the track. And here, we see Surtees expertly handling every twist and turn of Le Castellet's undulating layout.
Schlegelmilch's lens captures every detail of this thrilling moment - from the worn tires screeching against the asphalt to Surtees' focused expression behind his helmet visor. The atmosphere is electric as he hurtles towards another lap record at an average speed of over 170 km/h.
This incredible print is a testament to both Surtees' skill and Schlegelmilch's mastery behind the camera lens. It's a snapshot in time that will forever be etched in F1 history books.
