JP Beltoise in his lone victory, the final win for BRM, and the last race on the original circuit at Monaco.

What would our mollycoddled drivers think to having to drive on a piece of road like that. A grate as well!
Well that's one of the beauties (or not) of Monaco. That "circuit" will never be perfect. Remember Barrichello's reaction in 2010 when a loose drain/manhole cover pitched him into the barriers? He threw his steering wheel out of the cockpit which Chandhok then proceeded to drag around for half a lap. 
Believe it or not, Andretti took P4 with this pig at Long Beach 81. His only points of the year!
Disaster for Nige
That's Hamilton chasing Rosberg, not sure what Formula though.

Dan Gurney giving the first Formula 1 wins to Porsche, Brabham and Eagle (the best-looking F1 car of all time). To my knowledge, only Jackie Stewart joins Dan is providing initial F1 wins to 3 makes: Matra, March and Tyrell, which is a pretty good measure of Dan's greatness.

This thread's good for artistic inspiration. Thanks for posting the pictures, folks, I've got enough to work from for years here!
siffert_fan - 3 debut winners for Gurney - from only 4 victories total. Which is a statistic that suggests that he was a great driver in a series of not-so-great cars.
As of today's lot, Vettel is on 2 (STR and RBR) and Button is on 1 (Brawn).

IMO Gurney would have been WDC in 1964 if the Brabham had been at all reliable. He led most races, only for something to break. I know that he fell out of one race that year because his steering wheel broke!!! Nobody but Gurney or Amon could have had that kind of luck (interestingly enough, though both had terrible racing luck, both survived a very lethal era, so they were very lucky as well).

As far as I'm concern Gurney is a legend. One of my all time favourite drivers and friend of mine

Gurney is another of those amazingly versatile drivers, like Andretti. Dan had wins in F1, Indy cars, Can Am, Le Mans, NASCAR and TransAm sedans.
He also has the huge distinction of being the only driver that Clark (who a very good friend with Dan) feared. Accolades come no higher than that IMHO.
