Yes, in all its squareness the Surtees is a good looking car! How simple things used to be...  |

Although Sophia Loren was tall with angular nose and feet, the perfect proportions of her face and figure defined an exquisite beauty. |

Just some "random thoughts" on the driver's seating positions, upon seeing this beautiful banner image.
It's interesting to muse on how the typical seating position has changed back and forth over the years.
First, a very upright position, almost like in a normal road car, in the 1950's.
This morphed into a lying-deep-down position, as in a bathtub, in the cigar-shaped cars of the 1960's.
In 1970's, back to a more upright seating position,
and even more so in the 1980's, when the drivers came to be sitting high up front,
near to the front wheels (as in the banner image).
In the low-slung cars of the 1990's the seating position came down again, back to the style of the 1960's.
Finally, the high noses that appeared around 2000 demanded that the driver have their legs up high, resulting
in maybe the most peculiar seating position yet ...

Yes, that would actually make for a nice animation! |

A small detail that has caught my eye in this picture is the Ferrari badge on René's race suit. That is namely the way it should be done, the classic way.
This is the rectangular logo badge; the Ferrari brand logo. The shield logo on the side of the cockpit is the racing logo; Scuderia Ferrari.
1996, Schumacher's first year at the Scuderia was the last year it was done this way. Since 1997 the rectangular Ferrari brand logo was no longer used on the race suits and team outfit, only the SF shield.
And what we have seen the last few years with the large red/white (Marlboro incognito) badge with another SF shield on it is even worse. Two Scuderia shields on each side of the car, who ever came up with that idea!
I have always regretted this custom was lost. It may not seem important to some but it always was to me.
