During race weekend current-day racing drivers are cocooned from the ordinary spectators, but this was not always the case. In the 1950s and 60s the spectators could gain access to the paddock and get close up to the competing cars and drivers. The following photographs were taken at the Friday practice day for the British Grand Prix at Aintree in July 1962.
1961 World Champion Phil Hill who retired his Ferrari 156 Dino on lap 47 of the 75 lap race
McLaren finished in 3rd place and Jackie Lewis in 10th.
