Olivier

which one is ginther? I am fairly familiar with his visage and do not recognize him in the photo.

 

[Olivier]

According to the source - which is a Brazilian website - the fellow with the beret. Could it be wrong?

 

[The Artist.....]

I'm fairly sure Ginther is the one in the flat hat at the back... Certainly, that's his big nose!

 

[Lewywo4]

Artist......Innes Ireland had a big nose, and also was an incessant smoker....my vote it's Ireland in the flat hat.

What do we have here? The 2 Williams about to lap a Minardi?

Not quite, that Minardi is leading the race from the Williams and that's the only time a Minardi would lead a race. It was the GP of Portugal of 1989 and the driver couldn't be other than Pierluigi Martini.

Olivier I just read that the Minardi qualified 5th and 9th in that race. Didn't find any details though. Do you know how that was possible??

 

[Incubus]

Perluigi Martini qualified on the front row (just behind poleman McLaren's Gerhard Berger) at the 1990 Phoenix Grand Prix. On merit too. Although neither of them got to the first corner in the lead. Jean Alesi on the Tyrell did, catapulting himself from fourth on the grid. The Pirelli tyre was very competitive at that race.​

The minardi in the 1989-90 period was quite a competitive lttle car, and it worked very well with the Pirelli tyre.​

 

[Galahad]

That was also the race in which a BMS Dallara qualified 3rd and an Osella 8th - Pirelli had an awful lot to do with it.

 

[Olivier]

Incubus was that the race (Phoenix) when Senna and Alesi overtook each other a few times?

 

[Incubus]

It was indeed, yes.

The cars are so much prettier back in 1989. Please please bring back low noses.

Charlie Whiting in his Williams heyday. Interesting to note that he was Elio De Angelis's race engineer and was at Paul Ricard on the fateful day he had the crash.

Quintessentially. .... Brabham heyday
