I took this photograph of a car approaching Waterway Corner during practice for the British Grand Prix in July 1962.
It's Graham Hill in the 1962 BRM P57 with which he qualified in fifth position on the grid, and ended the race in fourth place almost 2 minutes behind the winner Jim Clark in his Lotus 25. The 1962 BRM P57 was originally designated the P578 on account of the 1,498cc V8 engine replacing the previous season's straight-4 Coventry Climax FPF unit. This car is chassis #P578/1 which Graham Hill drove for most of that season, winning four of the Grands Prix and the World Drivers' Championship.
On 7 August 2013 I Showed photographs of this car, and team mate Richie Ginther's, in the paddock during that practice session.
