Multiple F1 World Champion Alain Prost doing some practice laps. A take it easy out lap to warm up the fluids, bearings, and tires, a lap following American driver Eddie Cheever, and then .......

I think Prost is way too underrated.

On wire wheels no less.

How about the helmet and black t-shirt for 'protection' Fangio is wearing. Drivers didn't use seat belts in that era either.

I swear you had to be halfway insane to race back then, I think the mortality rate was something like 2 people a season at least.
