Tomorrow, Valentine's Day, was the birthday of a much beloved racing driver - along with Niki Lauda, he enjoyed the humour of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
He would greet his friend, well known racing writer Alan Henry with "Morning Albatross!".
The driver's name is?Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D

Yes, Superswede and Unser Jr.
Al Jr was a surprise. Pity F1 was never a priority for him. But in those days the Indy 500 was a great race and tyhe accompanying series was extremely strong - even Clay Regazzoni went to Indy in 1977 and missed Monte Carlo!!!
Such a damn pity that people such as Ronnie, Gilles and James are not around today - would have loved to hear the comments - especially Hunt's, on F1 today.Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D

Here's one. Jackie Stewart won the 1972 French GP. He claimed that he used a particular driving strategy in order to win the race. What was it and what did his rivals think of it?

I can't imagine that Jackie Stewart would deliberately try to harm his competitors.
Did he not use the clutch for this GP?The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!
