Re: Class of F1
I love how, in the official ones going back to the mid 80s, they get more and more informal going back in time!
Compare the very smart 2013 one to 1986!

Re: Class of F1
Moved the topic, because it's not really about current F1.
This got me to looking at older seasons on StatsF1, and one thing that I noticed that the F1 race programmes have been extremely dull-looking for many years now, with only a few exceptions (like the 2009 programmes, the star constellation idea looks nice). I mean, compare this programme from 20 years ago:
To this:
Or, even worse, this:
That wouldn't actually be that bad if it wasn't for that season's programmes being almost carbon copies of each other, with just the position of the driver, background and coloring changing between each GP programme.
Also it's funny to notice that the last time the programme covers have distinctly featured cars from the teams that took part in the season (instead of generic or indistinguishable models) was in 2005, and even then they were extreme closeups. You have to go all the way back to 2000 to find programme covers with full shots of real cars! Is this some kind of a neutrality policy by the FIA, to avoid any allegations of favoritism towards certain teams?
Well, this went a bit off-topic...

Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton and Raikkonen have shades on, and nobody else. If Button had them a conspiracy would undoubtedly be afoot, and I would be standing up.

Now hang on a minute!
In the 1976 photo there is clearly someone in the crowd (around the middle) holding a cellphone, seemingly taking a picture. FAKE!!!
Also, in the 2013 photo Hulkenberg looks like he's plotting the assassination of Obi Wan Kenobi or something.

That's nothing. Look at the guy in front of Stewart and to the right of Rindt and Bonnier in 1968. He is clearly playing a game on his iphone.

Re: Class of F1
It's interesting to me how they NEVER have managed to get a photograph with all drivers wearing sponsor caps.
They have come close a few times, though.
In 2012 it was only Vettel and di Resta ruining it from being a perfect 'all caps photo'.
In 2010 Kovalainen and Chandhok decided to spoil the party.
In 2009 it was extremely close, Webber being the only one not wearing a cap. Why Mark? Why?
In 2005 it was Karthikeyan and Montoya who defied the order of things and refused to wear caps.
Narain should have been awarded bad-to-the-bone-rookie-of-the-year for this act alone. For sticking it to the man in his very
first season.
In 2004 the number twos, Barrichello and Coulthard, didn't feel like co-operating with the others, preventing a perfect photo yet again.
In 1991, a total opposite here. Ayrton Senna is the only one wearing a cap. Of 27 drivers!
And in 1987 no one wore a cap!
In 1986, Nigel Mansell is the only one with a cap, preceding Senna with the feat.
And here is another thing I noticed.
Mika Hakkinen never wore a cap in any of the driver photos.
That's really something, talk about the ultimate troll. Concerned about his doo, no doubt.

One thing I have to say in favour of the modern F1.
The standard of driving suits (that the correct term?) has gone upwards so much - early 90's are just awful lol

Interesting to see that the photographers had forced Ayrton Senna and guest star Jean-Marie Balestre next to each other in 1991 photo.

Re: Class of F1
Olivier Grouillard, why did you just have to be so different?
Out of the four seasons he was in, in each of the 1989, 1990 and 1992 pics he's wearing civvies (although in 1992 that looks like an official Tyrrell shirt) whereas most if not all of the rest are in their race-suits. And in 1991 he's not even there!
Also, the 1994 picture is poignant, given that it was presumably taken at Interlagos. How different would the end-of-season picture have looked?
* Needless to say, poor Roland and Ayrton wouldn't be there.
* Herbert would be wearing a Benetton suit.
* Lamy, Verstappen, Bernard, Comas, Beretta and Wendlinger wouldn't be there.
* Salo, Zanardi, Schiattarella, Lehto, Mansell, Deletraz, Noda and Lagorce would be.

Is Prost not in the 1990 photo becuase he was in a huff about what happened at Suzuka?

Re: Class of F1
First of all, these pics are great. Brings back great memories, brilliant colours, optional team clothing and great sideburns.
But seriously, to clear it up, some of these pics were taken at the start of the season and some at the end.
What I can work out, 1986 is in Australia (cant work out the driver wearing the Australia tshirt, bottom row, 3rd from right). For obvious reasons Warwick is there too
So too 1987 thru to 1990, on pit straight or opposite main grandstand in Adelaide.
Then its the opposite for 1991. But for that year, the drivers photo is of the drivers who actually qualified in the race, hence why Grouillard, de Cesaris, Comas, Johansson and others are not in the pic as they didnt qualify. Definetly in USA as Iceberg was naming rights sponsor.
1992, im positive its South Africa, main clue I think the SAF flag was like that in 1992, same as 1993 as Andretti and Capelli are present.
1994 its in Brazil, then the rest are straight forward.
Also, 1997 was first year teammates stood together.
BTW, Bruni looks pre-occupied!

Re: Class of F1
1992 is my favourite, for the following reasons -
Fittipaldi's massive hat.
Tarquini and Gugelmin looking blissfully happy and unaware of their nightmares to come (well, Gabriele was probably used to it by then)
The photographer at the back gaining evidence of Gabriele's enlarging bald patch.
Belmondo looking away at something. Perhaps the March is parked nearby and he's thinking 'I'm driving THAT?!'
The fact that there seem to be gaps at the back for the 3 missing drivers - not just Mansell and Amati (practising being invisible all year?) but Stefano Modena as well.

^^ 2014 photo updated above ^^
Looks like we all have to wait at least one more year, for another chance of possibly witnessing a first
all-drivers-wearing-sponsor-caps photograph in history .
Ericsson and Grosjean being the culprits this time around, by not wearing sponsor caps for some reason.
I am very surprised to see Ericsson not wearing one to be honest, I realize he has some "anonymous sponsors", but surely
some sponsors want their logo to be seen? Not even the team?
I also noticed Hulkenberg and Perez are the only teammates wearing different looking caps.

You can't embed a link from another forum's attachments. They're not designed to work for more than a few hours. So, of course, doesn't work anymore.
Here's what to do instead; quickly sign up to Imgur, then take all those images and upload them into a single album, then take the unique ID from the embed code and stick it in gallery tags, as so;
Code: Select all
[album]unique-id-goes-here[/album]
The format of an imgur gallery embed should be something like;
Code: Select all
<iframe class="imgur-album" width="100%" height="550" frameborder="0" src="//imgur.com/a/UNIQUE-ID/embed"></iframe>
Strip out the string in the part of the URL above and stick it inside those album tags.
