EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Formula 1 driver Marc Surer concentrates intently as he adjusts the visor of his helmet before the start of the German Grand Prix at Hockenheimring on August 10, 1980. The image, captured by renowned motorsport photographer Rainer Schlegelmilch, transports us back in time to an era of raw power and unbridled passion for racing. Surer, a Swiss racing driver, was a formidable presence on the Formula 1 circuit during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Driving for the ATS team, he piloted the D4 Ford, a car that would prove to be a strong contender in several races that season. The German GP at Hockenheimring was no exception, with Surer qualifying an impressive fifth on the grid. The portrait-style photograph showcases Surer's focused determination, as he prepares for the high-stakes competition ahead. The intricate details of his helmet, adorned with the ATS and Ford logos, add to the authenticity of the scene. The background, a blur of activity and chaos, underscores the intensity and excitement of a Formula 1 race. Rainer Schlegelmilch's masterful composition and use of light and shadow bring this moment in racing history to life, offering a glimpse into the world of Formula 1 during the 1980s. This photograph is not only a testament to Surer's skill and dedication as a driver but also a reminder of the rich history and tradition of Formula 1 racing.
