I took this photograph in the paddock at Aintree during practice for the 1962 British Grand Prix in July 1962, taking advantage of a pose for a press photographer.
It's Jim Clark, who qualified his Lotus 25 in pole position, led the race from start to finish and also set the fastest lap. He was not so successful in that year's World Championship though, winning only three races because of the fragility of the Lotus, and Graham Hill won the Championship in his BRM P578. The problems with the Lotus 25 were resolved the following season when Jim Clark won the World Championship from Graham Hill by a large margin.
