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

In the paddock at the 1978 Monaco Grand Prix, Lotus Cars founder Colin Chapman pours a drink for his driver, Mario Andretti. Chapman, wearing his signature flat cap and a Valvoline-patched shirt, tends to Andretti, who stands in his white firesuit holding a disposable cup. They are surrounded by team equipment and parts from the John Player Special Lotus, including a rear wing endplate prominently displaying Andretti's number "5" alongside a stylized Union Jack.
