Team Lotus in the Spa pitlane, Saturday June 12 1965: the 33’s of #17 Jim Clark, Mike Spence and the teams spare chassis…
Sunday was wet, Jimmy ran away with the race from grid #2, Mike was 7th from grid 12. Graham Hill started from pole in his BRM P261 but finished 4th, Jackie Stewart was 2nd in the other BRM and Bruce McLaren 3rd in a Cooper T77 Climax.
Lap 1 and Graham Hill’s BRM P261 leads into Eau Rouge from pole. You can just see the white peak of Clark’s helmet and his Lotus 33’s left rear wheel right up Hills clacker. Stewart’s sister BRM follows then Ginther’s white Honda RA272, Siffert’s Rob Walker Brabham BT11 Climax, Surtees Ferrari 158 on the outside, Gurney’s Brabham BT11 Climax, McLarens Cooper T77 Climax and the rest…(unattributed)
Daunting in the dry positively frightening in the wet. Spa. Clark speeds to victory, he took the ’65 drivers title in his Lotus 33 Climax (unattributed)
Tailpiece: Alone in the Ardennes Forest, Jack Brabham…
Brabham, La Source hairpin, Spa 1965- 4th in his Brabham BT11 Climax (unattributed)
In the lap 1 photo, Clark’s Lotus is hidden behind Hill’s BRM. Look closely – Jimmy’s dark blue helmet and white visor are peeking out beside Graham’s left ear.
David,
Well spotted, I had to blow the shot up to see it. Right up his clacker, in the wet, spray, ‘that corner’, lap 1 , amazing!
