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.

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.

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.

#OnThisDay in β76 Hunt won the #USGP after a race-long duel with Scheckterβs 6-wheel Tyrrell, here leading Huntβs McLaren. Jody led more laps than James did, but James was ahead at the end, thereby closing to 3 points shy of Laudaβs total (65 versus 68). Next came Fuji...

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.
