Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus Cars and Mario Andretti. Monaco Grand Prix 1978.

At the 1978 Monaco Grand Prix, Lotus Cars founder Colin Chapman, in his signature flat cap, pours a drink for his driver, Mario Andretti. Dressed in a white fire suit with prominent "Valvoline" and "Goodyear" sponsor patches, Andretti looks down as the cup is filled from a flask. The paddock scene is framed by a stack of "John Player Special" tires and a pit board displaying Andretti’s race number, 5.
