The world is a slightly dimmer place that there’s no authentic Sharknose on the planet. I will never fully understand, let alone appreciate, why Enzo had them destroyed after the season.

Mairesse was preceded home by Graham Hill (winner, BRM), Richie Ginther (BRM), and Bruce McLaren (Cooper).

Oh. And the “organ pipe” BRM too.
