Newspaper Cuttings

[FB]

For a few years I kept cuttings from various newspapers on F1, would you all be interested if I posted some up? For example, here's one from the Daily Mail on Niki Lauda testing the McLaren in 1981

 

[Titch]

Yes

 

[FB]

Another one about Niki, from 1976.

 

[Titch]

He was such a survivor. And after all that he couldn’t get racing out of his system.

Sad sack

 

[FB]

Spot the mistake in this cutting

I'm not 100 percent certain but that picture doesn't look like Piquet?

 

[Titch]

Definitely not Piquet, much to good looking .

 

[FB]

I believe it's Riccardo Patrese.

 

[cider_and_toast]

I think you may be right FB

Lauda before the race

im glad they chose that picture as nobody didnt want to see the after

 

[cider_and_toast]

I believe it's Riccardo Patrese.

I showed the cutting to a mate of mine who knows that era so well he could identify a driver from an aerial picture of their socks and he says it is indeed Riccardo Patrese in the picture.

He also said John Watson isn't Irish

Well, he was an Ulsterman, but drove under a British flag.

This one is Piquet (top right), from 1981.
