endless iconic f1 moments - closest ever finish

peter gethin wins the 1971 italian grand prix. the brit started the race in eleventh, with the matra of chris amon on pole, ahead of jacky ickx (ferrari) and jo siffert (brm). the monza track at that time did not feature chicanes, so the grand prix became an incredibly fast slipstreaming battle. the lead swapped 25 times during the race, between eight different drivers.

by the end of the race five cars were still close together fighting for the win. on the last lap, gethin was third behind francois cevert and ronnie peterson as they entered the parabolica corner. he was able to slip past as they battled each other.

gethin took the chequered flag just 0.01 seconds ahead of peterson. he said “we got to the line and he was very close to me, we were alongside each other...so to try and convince (the officials) that i was the winner, i put my hand up on the line, so they’d think i'd won!”

gethin had indeed won the race. the first five cars were covered by just six tenths of a second. the race was also the fastest ever in f1 history, with an average speed of 150.754 mph, until the 2003 italian grand prix. gethin’s winning margin remains the closest finish in f1 history to this day. it was his first and only victory.

People going through their Hayden Christensen phase right now, meanwhile primary school me had to do a school project on a country and chose Canada because he’s Canadian, and that was roughly 17 years ago.

Also did a project of Bolivia and Namibia because Gethin Jones travelled there as a Blue Peter presenter

Nice to know I had my priorities straight as an 11 year old.

Meet Miss Earth - Alias Graham Hill, the Grand Prix race driver

The straits times, 4th December 1966

There was a roar of applause from the 400 guests at London's exclusive park lane hotel as the first contestants in the latest beauty contest - Miss Earth 1966 - entered the hallroom.

Swaying rhythmically to the background music, and dressed in a swim suit that left little to the imagination, the face of Grand Prix racing driver Peter Arundel went almost unrecognised under a mass of flowing hair.

It was all part of a fund-raising takeoff of the rash of beauty contests that have become so much a part of the London scene.

With all profits going to charity, contestants include ex-world champion Graham Hill, racing drivers Nick Brittan, Harry Stiller, Peter Gethin, ex-driver Les Leston and West Essex Car Club offical, John Trimble.

All were in fetching swimsuits and long wigs to carry the charade further, and the contestants started with them parading around the ballroom to jeers, cheers, shouts and hoots of the audience.

Next they paraded in line for the judges - rally driver Rosemary Smith, Nick Brittan's wife, Jenny, and West Essex Club Secretary's wife, Barbara Greenway.

The judge's work was made more difficult as the contestants began to douse one another with soda siphones. But eventually, Graham Hill was declared the winner and crowned Miss Earth by Rosemary Smith. He then posed triumphantly on the table booked for the honourable Gerald Lascelles, Royal racing fan.

#there was another photo used in the newspaper article but for privacy reasons towards Graham I am not posting it #or the link #thanks to Gi though for removing the getty images watermarks from the photo I did use #imagine being at this event #Graham did a lot of money raising for charity #its sweet #classic f1 #f1 #formula one #formula 1 #vintage f1 #graham hill

[denimbex1986]

'Where to start when profiling such a talented and charismatic actor as Andrew Scott? How about the fact that, aside from some youth theater workshop experience, this Dublin-born actor has had no official drama training? At 17, he was cast in a substantial role in an Irish film called Korea and, from there, joined the prestigious Abbey Theatre company in Dublin. His move to England in the late 80s corresponded with small parts in British, Irish, and American films and TV series and paved the way for his career to take off.

Among other projects, Andrew Scott appeared as an extra in Saving Private Ryan's Omaha Beach sequence, as well as several guest starring roles in British TV series like Garrow's Law and Foyle's War. All in all, he spent the first decade or so of his career building a solid body of work that would soon catapult him into pop culture stardom.

Let's take a look at some of Mr. Scott's iconic characters and lesser-known projects.

Sherlock (2010 – 2017)

Who can forget when Sherlock first revealed the character of Jim Moriarty to audiences in "The Great Game" episode? Scott played Mr. Holmes's famous nemesis as a deranged mastermind with a playful sing-song creepiness and a palpable presence of malice. He won the Best Supporting Actor TV BAFTA for that role in 2012.

The Bachelor Weekend aka The Stag (2013)

Some may have missed the delightful indie comedy, The Stag, about a group of friends who set out on a hiking excursion in the Irish countryside. Mr. Scott leads the ensemble as Davin, the groom's best man, in charge of their mild-mannered weekend. Their plans are wholly upended when The Machine (Peter McDonald), the bride's laddish brother, crashes the party. Lest you expect an Irish Hangover clone, emotional confrontations ensue between Davin and our groom, Fionnan (Hugh O'Conor), when unresolved issues from their past rise to the surface.

Pride (2014)

The feel-good, historical dramedy Pride depicts a group of London-based lesbian and gay activists who raised money to help families affected by the Welsh miners' strike in 1984. Scott plays Gethin, owner of a gay bookshop, who lends support to the group but hesitates to get actively involved due to his experiences as a gay youth coming out in Wales. He earned the best supporting actor trophy for his performance from the British Independent Film Awards.

Spectre (2015)

Once an actor is lauded for playing a baddie well, you have to expect the 007 franchise will come calling. In the 24th Bond film Spectre, Scott played Max Denbigh, aka C, Director-General of the Joint Security Service, an organization created by merging MI5 and MI6. While at first his disagreements with M (Ralph Fiennes) seem to be internal power struggles, it turns out C is a danger to democracy worldwide.

This Beautiful Fantastic (2016)

This Beautiful Fantastic is a quirky fairytale for adults and tells the story of Bella (Jessica Brown Findlay), a young woman who aspires to be a children's author but lacks the skills to navigate her out-of-control garden, let alone her nebulous career. Befriended by a kindly chef/housekeeper named Vernon (Scott), Bella begins to conquer her issues and blossom into the person she wishes to become. The film also stars Tom Wilkinson as Bella's gardening mentor.

Denial (2016)

A biographical legal drama, Denial depicts the libel case brought against American professor Deborah Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) by Holocaust denier David Irving (Timothy Spall). Mr. Scott plays Anthony Julius, the lead solicitor of Deborah's legal team, who guides her through the UK justice system and their arduous path to obtaining justice.

1917 (2019)

In the innovative war drama 1917 (which starred a who's who of British talent), two English soldiers run a harrowing gauntlet through enemy territory to deliver a message that could save the lives of over 1500 troops. Along the way, the young men meet up with a handful of officers who help them on their journey, all played by respected British actors, including Messrs. Cumberbatch, Firth, Strong, and you guessed it – Scott. His portrayal of Lieutenant Leslie stands out a mile for its humor and hopelessness.

Present Laughing (2019)

Mr. Scott garnered theatrical acclaim for his performance as Garry Essendine in Present Laughing, a semi-autobiographical piece by Noel Coward performed at the Old Vic. Farcical in tone, the play depicts the harried life of a successful and self-obsessed light comedy actor facing an impending mid-life crisis. Andrew won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Play.

Fleabag (2019)

Andrew Scott's name may have been synonymous with Moriarty until the world witnessed his portrayal of a character known only as "Hot Priest" in Fleabag. In the second season of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's award-winning dark comedy, Scott was introduced as the cleric who would be marrying Fleabag's dad and his fiancé. The couple has an immediate connection at the dinner table, and a trinity of friendship, spirituality and physical attraction ignite throughout the six-episode season. Scott's contribution was perfection!

This is only a brief sampling of Andrew Scott's work and impressive range...'

Ten thousand thunders, par Brian Trent (Flame Tree Press, octobre 2018)

Un millénaire après l’holocauste nucléaire l’humanité a atteint un niveau technologique inouï, mais uniquement dans certaines enclaves (y compris une forme d’immortalité par le rechargement de sauvegardes de l’esprit dans des clones) ; le reste du monde étant presque laissé à l’abandon (et là on meurt pour de vrai). Toutes sortes de factions se combattent et un « InterPlanetery Council » tente de préserver une paix relative. Dans cet univers violent, Gethin Bryce un enquêteur-analyste extrêmement brillant de l’IPC va se retrouver au centre de plusieurs complots antagonistes qui pourraient mener à l’ultime conflit…

Un roman très ambitieux, avec un contexte très riche, des personnages complexes et une intrigue tordue. Et, contrairement à l’habitude, je regrette que l’auteur n’ait pas développé son propos, à la façon d’un Peter F. Hamilton, sur deux ou trois fois quatre cents pages ! Cela lui aurait évité de rester trop souvent à la surface des lieux, des concepts et des intrigues sous-jacentes de son récit.

MONZA'NIN 100 ncü Yaş günü

Monza pisti yüz yıl önce Eylül ayında açıldığı için özel bir yer için özel bir doğum günü.

Gezegendeki en hızlı sürücüler, yarış finişlerine en yakın olanlar ve isimleri artık efsane olan otomobiller ve sürücüler hakkında harika hikayeler anlatacak tarihi bir mekan.

Nasıl başladı?

Her türlü deneysel aktiviteye ev sahipliği yapabilecek bir motor yarışı pisti inşa etme fikri, 25. yıllarını kutlamak isteyen Milano Otomobil Kulübü üyeleri tarafından ortaya atıldı. Büyük tarzda yıldönümü. Sembolik köşe taşı Şubat ayında atıldı, ancak asıl inşaat çalışmaları 15 Mayıs 1922'ye kadar başlamadı ve aynı yıl 15 Ağustos'ta tamamlandı. Brooklands ve Indianapolis'tekilerden sonra dünyadaki üçüncü yarış pistini oluşturmak sadece 110 günlük sıkı bir çalışma gerektirdi.

İnsan ilk kez asla unutmaz

3 Eylül 1922: Monza pistindeki ilk resmi etkinlik, yirmili yıllarda İtalya'nın en ünlü yarışçılarından biri olan Pietro Bordino'nun kazandığı voiturette yarışıydı. Adı, bir hafta sonra düzenlenen otomobiller için İtalya Grand Prix'sinin onur rolü üzerine yazılmıştır. İki tekerleğe gelince, ilk kazanan Harley Davidson 1000 ile Amedeo Ruggeri oldu.

Hız

200 km/s hıza ulaşan ilk isim Alfa Romeo P2 ile Achille Varzi oldu. 1929 Monza Grand Prix'sindeki galibiyeti o kadar muhteşemdi ki, birisi esprili bir şekilde pistin adının "Varzodromo di Monza" olarak değiştirilmesini önerdi. Varzi ve Tazio Nuvolari, Monza'nın ana pisti olduğu Alfa Romeo otomobillerinin direksiyonunda olan bazı efsanevi yarışlar üreten büyük bir rekabetin tadını çıkardılar. İkinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında yarış yoktu ve en büyük ulusal yarışlar o yıl Torino'da gerçekleşmesine rağmen, mekan 1948'de yenilendi.

Bir aşk ilişkisinin başlangıcı

Formula 1 Dünya Şampiyonası 1950 yılında kuruldu ve Monza sezonun yedinci ve son turuna ev sahipliği yaptı. İtalyanlar domine etti, Nino Farina bir Alfa Romeo ile ilk dünya şampiyonluğunu elde etmek için kazandı. Podyumda onun yanında Dorino Serafini ve Alberto Ascari vardı ve Ferrari'de sürüş görevlerini paylaştılar – evet, farklı zamanlarda – üçüncü sırada ise başka bir Alfa Romeo'da Luigi Fagioli vardı. O zamandan beri, yarışın Imola'da yapıldığı 1980 yılı hariç, Monza her zaman İtalya Formula 1 Grand Prix'sinin evi olmuştur. Sopraelevata veya High Speed Ring 1955'te inşa edildiğinde, F1, ertesi yıl ve tekrar 1960 ve 61'de yaptığı gibi, İtalya Grand Prix'si için hızlı bir şekilde kullanıldı.

Sprint bitiş

John Surtees'in damalı bayrağı Jack Brabham'ın saniyenin onda ikisi önünde almasıyla kazandığı harika galibiyetten sonra Monza, 1971 İtalya Grand Prix'sinde bir adım daha ileri gitti. Hız Tapınağı, galibiyet için beş yönlü bir savaşın zeminini oluşturdu ve damalı bayrakta, ilk ikisi - Peter Gethin ve Ronnie Peterson - saniyenin sadece yüzde biri kadar bölündü!

Hız ve güvenlik

70'li yıllarda Formula 1 daha fazla güvenlik bilincine sahipti ve Monza pisti bu konuda öncü oldu. GPDA (Grand Prix Sürücüler Birliği) ile istişare içinde, Curva Grande ve Curva Ascari'ye giden hızları azaltmak için 1972'de iki chicane tanıtıldı. Bu, bugün bildiğimiz pist haline gelene kadar birkaç kez modifikasyona uğrayan pistin evrimindeki ilk adımdı. Monza ayrıca günlük yaşamda güvenliğin artırılmasında rol oynamış, korkuluklar ve yol drenajı gibi çözümlere yönelik araştırma ve geliştirmede aktif rol oynamıştır.

Mutluluğun sesi?

Eylül 2008'deki Monza hafta sonu boyunca yağan sürüş yağmurunun gürültüsü olduğunu düşünüyoruz. Çok genç bir Sebastian Vettel'in pole pozisyonunu alıp İtalya Grand Prix'sini kazandığı ve Scuderia Toro Rosso olarak ilk Formula 1 zaferimiz olan o etkinliğin hatırası hala aklımızda taze.

Bir film gibi

Mükemmel bir film senaryosu gibi, tarihimiz de Scuderia AlphaTauri olarak ilk yılımız olan 2020'deki Monza'nınkiyle tekrar iç içe geçti. Boş tribünlerin önünde, pandemiyle bağlantılı kısıtlamalar nedeniyle, Pierre Gasly, AT01'inde çizgiyi ilk geçtiğinde sevinç çığlıklarıyla korkunç sessizliği bozdu.

Bu fantastik bir yüz yıllık hikaye ve biz de bunda rol oynadık. Formula 1'in her zaman yaptığı gibi geleceğe bakarken 100. yılı kutluyoruz. "Hız Tapınağı" gibi mekanlar, sporumuzu büyülü kılan şeydir.
