EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing the excitement and tension of the starting grid at the 1961 French Grand Prix in Reims, France. The image features an iconic moment in Formula One history as Wolfgang von Trips (#20) takes the lead at the start, with Phil Hill (#16) and Richie Ginther (#18) closely following in their Ferrari 156s. The trio would go on to dominate the race, with von Trips ultimately taking the checkered flag. But the real intrigue lies in the center of the grid, where debutant Giancarlo Baghetti (private Ferrari 156) can be seen. Baghetti would make history that weekend by becoming the youngest Grand Prix winner at the age of just 22. His surprise victory marked a turning point in the 1961 championship, which was ultimately won by Phil Hill. This print, taken by the renowned motorsport photography company LAT Photographic, captures the raw energy and passion of the 1961 French Grand Prix. The image is a testament to the rich history of Formula One racing and the iconic moments that have shaped the sport over the decades. The photo is a valuable addition to any motorsport collection and a reminder of the thrilling races and memorable moments that have defined Formula One. It is a snapshot of history that transports us back to a time when racing was all about raw power, skill, and determination.
