EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white portrait, Formula 1 racing driver Marc Surer poses confidently with his helmet in hand, the iconic logo of the German Grand Prix emblazoned across its surface. The year is 1980, and the location is the renowned Hockenheimring circuit in Germany. Surer, a native of Switzerland, was a rising star in the world of Formula 1 at the time. Having made his debut in the premier racing series just two years prior, he was already making a name for himself with his tenacious driving style and unwavering determination. The German Grand Prix of 1980 was a pivotal moment in Surer's career. He had finished an impressive fourth place at the Belgian Grand Prix just a few weeks earlier, and the Hockenheimring circuit, with its high-speed corners and technical challenges, presented an opportunity for him to build on that success. Rainer Schlegelmilch, the renowned German photographer, captured this moment of anticipation and resolve. The photograph is a testament to the intensity and focus required to compete at the highest level of motorsport. Surer's intense gaze and clenched jaw convey a sense of determination and concentration, while the helmet, a symbol of the risks and rewards of Formula 1 racing, sits firmly in his hands. The image is a snapshot of a bygone era in Formula 1 history, a time when drivers raced for the love of the sport and the thrill of competition. Surer's story is one of perseverance and passion, and this photograph encapsulates the essence of his journey.
