EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting moment in Formula One history during the South African Grand Prix on 3rd March 1973. The remains of a fiery accident involving three legendary drivers - Mike Hailwood, Clay Regazzoni, and Jacky Ickx - are frozen in time on lap 3 at Kyalami circuit. The image portrays the intense action that unfolded as flames engulfed the track, creating an atmosphere of chaos and danger. Marshalls can be seen bravely rushing towards the scene, their faces etched with determination to rescue those involved. The sheer devastation left behind by this horrific incident is evident in every detail captured by Motorsport Images. The twisted metal frames and charred debris serve as a stark reminder of the risks these fearless drivers face when pushing themselves to the limit. Against this backdrop of destruction, one cannot help but appreciate the scenic beauty surrounding Kyalami circuit. The lush greenery juxtaposed with billowing smoke creates a surreal contrast that adds depth to this powerful photograph. While it is impossible to ignore the tragedy depicted here, it also serves as a testament to the resilience and bravery displayed by all those involved in motorsport. This print encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in Formula One history but also pays homage to those who risk their lives for our entertainment on race tracks around the world.
