Formula 1

I've always liked cars, and racing cars especially, some of my earliest memories are of playing with toy cars.  When I was 3, my Mum went back to work as a teacher, so my Nana looked after me during the days, she always said that I was an 'Angel', principally due to the fact that I played (quietly) with my toy cars all day - every day!

I really got interested in Formula 1 in the late 70's, and early 80's when I became a real Villeneuve fan.  He had a passion for his driving, and it always seemed that he was doing it as much for the spectators as for himself.  Gilles' passion was also his problem, he could never accept anything other than winning, and many times he wasted good results by pushing beyond the limits, looking for a victory that was almost impossible.  These are just some of the reasons we loved him.

Anyway, here's a gallery of some of my favourite pictures, you can click to view an enlarged image.

Spanish Grand Prix 2002

I finally got to see a Grand Prix in the flesh at Barcelona in 2002, so I've added some of my own pictures too.
