In this photo print, we are transported back to the Canadian Grand Prix in Mont-Tremblant on September 22,1968. The Formula One World Championship was in full swing as John Surtees, representing Honda RA301, took center stage. However, fate had a different plan for him that day. As the race commenced with adrenaline pumping through his veins, Surtees showcased his exceptional driving skills. But alas, luck was not on his side as he encountered an unexpected setback - gearbox failure. Lap after lap went by until finally on lap 10, Surtees had no choice but to retire from the race. The image captures the essence of action and determination frozen in time. Surrounded by the picturesque Canadian landscape of Mont-Tremblant's circuit at St Jovite, one can almost feel the intensity radiating from this historic moment.

It immortalizes both the highs and lows experienced by these legendary drivers who risked it all for their passion. Let this image be a testament to John Surtees' unwavering dedication to Formula One racing while also reminding us that sometimes even champions face adversity beyond their control.
