David's Day by Robert Tomlin The 2002 Grand Prix season started with much excitement as for the first few races the major teams sparred for supremacy. Just when it looked as if there would be a three-way fight between Ferrari, Williams and McLaren, along came Michael Schumacher in the 2002 Ferrari and showed the supremacy of the driver and machine package. However, against all odds and demonstrating supreme confidence and skill on a track where top speed was not all important, David Coulthard made one of the best drives of his career. Pulling out all the stops lie grabbed second spot on the grid. For once on race day he was not to be easily pushed aside and from the sprint to the first corner, he managed to grab first place and though pressed throughout the race, gave no quarter. In a supreme demonstration reminiscent of Senna and Mansell years ago, he made his car so wide that no-one could pass, and went on to take a memorable and well-deserved victory. Our picture shows him at Lowes Hairpin with the Williarris and Ferraris waiting to pounce at the slightest mistake - which did not happen. |

Sporting Legends - Ayrton Senna by Stuart McIntyre. Ayrton Senna da Silva is widely regarded as the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time. He was born on 21st March 1960 in Sao Paulo, Brazil and began Kart racing at the age of 13. In 1984, Senna drove the Toleman Hart TG184 in his first ever Formula 1 season and his exceptional talent was immediately apparent. He achieved his first Grand Prix victory in 1985 driving the Lotus 97T Renault and in 1988 he joined McLaren to drive the Marlboro McLaren MP4/6 Honda. Ayrton Senna then began a period of domination in the sport and won the Drivers World Championship three times - 1988, 1990 and 1991. In 1994, Senna moved to the Rothman Williams team to drive the Williams Renault FW16, but sadly in only his third race, he was tragically killed at the San Marino Gran Prix, Imola on 1st May 1994. Truly, a legend of his time. |

Return to America by Michael Turner. On September 24, 2000, Formula One Grand Prix racing returned to the United States after a nine year absence. A record crowd of 220,000 flag waving enthusiasts from around the world gathered in Indiana to witness the historic event on a newly constructed road course at the venerable Indianapolis Motor Speedway. On the seventh lap, Michael Schumacher captured the lead with a daring outside pass of David Coulthards McLaren Mercedes. The pair touched briefly as they entered the damp left hander at the end of Indys famous front straight, but both continued. In weather conditions reminiscent of previous USGPs at Watkins Glen, Schumacher survived a late race spin to lead team-mate Rubens Barrichello to a dramatic 1-2 victory for Scuderia Ferrari. |

Tribute to Ayrton Senna by Stuart McIntyre. In 1984 Ayrton Senna drove the Toleman Hart TG184 in his first ever Formula 1 season and showed exceptional talent. Senna achieved his first Grand Prix win in 1985 driving the Lotus 97T Renault, the first of many to come. In 1988, the power lay with McLaren and Senna linked up with Ron Dennis to drive the McLaren MP4/6 Honda and was crowned world champion three times; 1988, 1990 and 1991. Then in 1994 when Williams held by far the best chance of a fourth world championship, Ayrton Senna made his move and drove the Williams Renault FW16. Sadly, just three races into the season came the tragedy of Imola. Ayrton Senna da Silva, 1960 - 1994. |
Tribute to Nigel Mansell by Stuart McIntyre. SOLD OUT (Nov 2008) |
Tribute to David Coulthard by Stuart McIntyre David Coulthard made his Grand Prix debut at the Spanish Grand Prix in 1994. Only an electrical problem with his Williams Renault stopped Coulthard finishing 3rd in his first ever Grand Prix. This performance was enough to confirm his potential and earn a drive for the 1995 season. Winning at Estoril, on the podium at Interlagos, Magny-Cours, Silverstone, Hockenheim, Hungaroring and T I Aida, placed him third in the championship in his first full Grand Prix season. Coulthard moved to McLaren for the 1996 season proving on many occasions that he could match the pace of team leader Mika Hakkinen, who has a reputation as one of the fastest. For 1997, Coulthard took over the mantle of Britains No.1 driver and was well qualified to do so. Winning at Melbourne and Monza, second at A1 Ring and Jerez. Fourth in the championship prior to Schumachers exclusion. Coulthard drives with a balance of flair and aggression which earned him considerable respect. After nearly fifteen years as a top flight driver, Coulthard has now retired from driving, leaving a remarkable legacy behind him. Twice winner of the British Grand Prix in 1999 and 2000, he has represented Scotland and Great Britain at the highest level of motorsport for well over a decade. |
Tribute to McLaren by Stuart McIntyre Bruce McLaren is the man behind the McLaren name. Inspired by Babham, McLaren constructed his own cars and formed Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Ltd. His first Formula 1 chassis, the M2B, was designed by Robin Herd and built in 1966. Sadly on 2nd June 1970 Bruce was killed testing the McLaren M8. In 1974 Emerson Fittipaldi won the World Championship after 3 wins and a number of consistent finishes. After one of the most dramatic seasons, James Hunt took the 1976 Championship by a single point. In the 80s, team boss Ron Dennis and designer John Baranrd created one of Formula Ones classics, the carbon fibre MP4. In 1984, Niki Lauda and Alain Prost dominated and the Austrian took the championship by half a point. Prost then won consecutive Championships in 1985 and 1986. For 1988 McLaren had the ultimate supertam: Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna and Hond engines. Senna won the first of three Championships in four years with McLaren. Prost took the 1989 World Championship and the joined Ferrari. The withdrawal of Honda in 1992 left McLaren underpowered, but the brilliant Senna still managed five wins in 1993, ensuring that McLaren surpassed Ferraris position as the most successful team in racing history. |
Monaco Master - Ayrton Senna by Ivan Berryman. Ayrton Senna in his #1 McLaren Honda at Monaco. Ayrton Senna won this race in this car each of the three times he raced in it at Monaco, in 1989, 1991 and 1992, with victories in other cars in both 1990 and 1993 - a staggering five consecutive wins at a track notorious for decimating the field. |
Ayrton Senna by Stephen Doig. Ayrton Senna was first introduced to racing by his father when on his fourth birthday he was given a 1 hp kart. His first legal race was in 1973 at the tender age of 13. Ayrton displayed all of the pent up energy he had built up and won his first race. |
