And that dates me. It was watching Ronnie on the BBC news that introduced me to F1. I'd grown up with it of course, being from a petrol head family, but 1973 brought it to my consciousness. I remember the item about his first ever win (at last!) at the French GP like it was yesterday, and the shot they showed of the Lotus 72 really inspired me.

And now the main 10/10 Forum I inhabit is Historic Racing Today, where the same cars are cropping up. Ah the privilege of getting old I suppose.

PAH! Lotus 72! Not a patch on a 250F, or F500, P156. True beauties.
