This photograph was taken in the paddock at Aintree during practice for the Aintree 200 race in April 1961.
It's the Belgian racing driver André Pilette who competed sporadically in Grand Prix races between 1951 and 1964 for three Belgian racing teams, for Équipe Gordini, and a single race for Scuderia Ferrari in 1956 when he drove a Lancia-Ferrari D50 in the Belgian Grand Prix, continuing Ferrari's tradition of fielding a car in that race painted in Belgium's national racing colours and driven by a Belgian driver. In the Aintree 200 race he drove an Écurie Nationale Belge Emeryson Maserati and finished in 16th place.
