This is my last #OnThisDay tweet today & it features an iconic #F1 car: a ’61 Ferrari 156. #AnorakFact: sitting in it is Giancarlo Baghetti, the only man to win the first championship F1 GP he entered, the ’61 #FrenchGP. He was born #OnThisDay in ’34. #MerryChristmas one & all!🎄
Lovely dawn this morning.
Yes. Spent many a happy hour with Michael, both at races and at his studio in Pinner. Humble, kind and creative - no surprise that Bruce McLaren commissioned Michael to design the first McL logo and livery. Michael oved to fly his Chipmunk, too.
The 11th at El Valle, Spain. Tee on the right. Serious golf hole.
Very much so. Lovely, intelligent guy. He and Donatella were shining lights in the pit lanes of the 1970s. Super-quick in Ferrari F2 cars and in any breed of Alfa.
Impressive cloud formations tonight
Jack Windsor a few years ago, trying to hit the poor guy catching the balls
Dawn en route to the Bridgestone Cup golf tournament yesterday. A nice win for Jack Windsor over a 68-strong field.
The elegance of the Ralph Bellamy/Ray Stokoe McLaren M19A, pictured here at the 1971 Silverstone International Trophy, was matched only by Denny's signature - delivered here by fountain pen - and Michael Turner's original logo. Photo: Richard Windsor
I was a big Rikky fan. Fast, smooth F3 driver who was bright enough to do loads of testing. I totally respected his loyalty to Mo Nunn, too. And how many other F1 drivers had original Warhols in their living rooms? Top Man.

Here I am, just about to take Alain Prost’s Renault turbo for a spin at Ricard. Carlos Reutemann kindly provided one of his helmets for the occasion.

Lovely up here in the mountains. Rally Granada. Dust and car control.
Great to be at Rally Granada today and to watch the very talented Roope Korhonen in action with his GR Yaris Rally2
Hard to beat the artistic beauty of the Sid Taylor/Denny Hulme livery, fonts and graphics. A great example of simplicity triumphing over complexity.
Wonder if this shiny car has gone up in value at all?
I took this pic of my mate shortly after he won Macau in ‘83. We watched the race on TV for while before going into Reading for a bite to eat.
Dexter's a bit confused by all the rain we're having here in Spain. Loves barking at the thunder, though.
Mid-century modern. Pure, simple…timeless.
#OnThisDay in ’76 Hunt won the #USGP after a race-long duel with Scheckter’s 6-wheel Tyrrell, here leading Hunt’s McLaren. Jody led more laps than James did, but James was ahead at the end, thereby closing to 3 points shy of Lauda’s total (65 versus 68). Next came Fuji...
David McKay’s brand new Ferrari 330 P4 V12 Spyder being unpacked after its journey by ship to Australia in late 1967. It would be driven brilliantly by Chris Amon in the support races for the upcoming Australian leg of the Tasman Championship.
Lovely Buick being loaded up for a classic event in Spain this morning
Definitely one of the best-looking #F1 cars of all time. Polychromatic green with flame-orange nose. Hard to beat. Graham Hill saysat perfectly in the car, too. Not too high, not too low. Magic.
#OnThisDay in ’64 Graham Hill (BRM; pic) won #USGP at Watkins Glen - the 2nd of his 3 consecutive #F1 GP wins there. 2nd was John Surtees (NART Ferrari) & 3rd was Jo Siffert (Rob Walker Brabham).
Lovely moon tonight.
Happy International Coffee Day! #colombia #pergamino
... Jim with decidedly broken rear suspension...
