EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, taken by renowned motorsport photographer Ercole Colombo, we see a focused and determined Patrick Tambay preparing for the 1985 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort. The image captures the essence of Formula 1 racing in the mid-1980s, with Tambay donning his iconic helmet adorned with the Italian flag and the distinctive red and white colors of the Martini Racing Team. The portrait-style shot offers a rare glimpse into the world of Formula 1 pit stops, where every second counts and the pressure is always on. Tambay's intense gaze and clenched fist convey the immense concentration required to navigate the twists and turns of the Zandvoort circuit at high speeds. The photograph also serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of Ercole Colombo, who expertly captured the raw emotion and energy of the sport. The Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort was held on August 25, 1985, and marked a significant moment in Tambay's Formula 1 career. The French racing driver, who began his Formula 1 career in 1978, had already amassed an impressive collection of podium finishes and race victories by this point. However, the 1985 season proved to be a challenging one for Tambay, with a string of disappointing results. The Dutch Grand Prix presented an opportunity to turn his fortunes around, and Tambay delivered a strong performance, finishing in a respectable sixth place. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and excitement of Formula 1 racing, and the indelible impact that dedicated photographers like Ercole Colombo have had on preserving the memories of the sport's greatest moments.
