Thanks for the feedback and votes! I’ll try posting #Formula1History on Fridays, random #carsofmastodon on Sundays and wildlife, sunsets and landscapes #photography the rest of the week.

#photography #carsofmastodon #Formula1History a view down the row of cars at the 2022 Velocity Invitational. It’s a cool event and you can watch the historic cars racing with some excellent quality drone video shots here: https://youtu.be/363hyI5fdd8

#photography #carsofmastodon ninth in my #Formula1History series is a 2017 Scuderia Toro Rosso STR12 with a Renault engine as driven by Carlos Sainz and Pierre Gasly. This car has an engine formula similar to today of a 1.6 liter turbo V6 with an electric hybrid boost.

@paulg yes, I have a bunch of pictures from a visit there a few years ago. I’ll find them and add them to my daily #Formula1History posts

#photography #CarsOfMastodon ninth in my #Formula1History series the 2013 Ferrari F138 as driven by Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa. The last super loud V8 engined car, F1 switched to V6 hybrid engines that sounded awful the following year.

#photography #carsofmastodon eighth in my #Formula1History series is a 2011 McLaren MP4/26 as driven by Jensen Button and Lewis Hamilton. FYI the MP4 name comes because in 1980 McLaren merged with Project 4, who had developed the first carbon fiber Formula1 chassis.

#photography #carsofmastodon seventh in this #Formula1History series. The 2009 McLaren MP4/24 driven by Lewis Hamilton had one of the first hybrid drivetrains to win a race. Photos taken at Velocity Invitational 2022 Laguna Seca. The event was partly sponsored by McLaren and they brought a lot of cool cars.

#photography #carsofmastodon sixth in my #Formula1History series. The 2005 McLaren MP4/20 driven to several race wins by Kimi Raikkonen. Aero rule changes led to the distinctive “horns” just behind the driver.

#photography #carsofmastodon fifth in my #Formula1History series. 1999 Constructors Championship winning Ferrari F399 with Michael Schumacher, Eddie Irvine and Mika Salo. (Mika Hakkinen won the drivers Championship that year in the McLaren I showed yesterday).

#photography #carsofmastodon #Formula1History The 1999 McLaren MP4/14 won the championship for Mika Hakkinen. Still with tiny Sun logos on the wing mirrors, there was a big Sun logo on the bulkhead behind the nose cone. You could only see it if they broke the front wing and changed it during a pit stop. I’m posting a picture every day, from the 2022 Velocity Invitational event at Laguna Seca. This is the fourth one.

#photography #carsofmastodon #Formula1History 1995 McLaren MP4-10 as driven by Mika Hakkinen. The first McLaren with a Mercedes engine. Notice the Sun logos on the wing mirrors. I always liked McLaren a bit extra because of that. In 1996 I moved back from California to the UK and kept my job at Sun (working remotely). If I had needed a new job to move back, I’d have liked to work for McLaren…

#photography #carsofmastodon #Formula1History 1993/4 Williams - a development car used for test drives when the rules changed to ban active electronic driver aids.

#photography #carsofmastodon #Formula1History I’m going to post a daily series of pictures of historic formula one cars, starting with this 1987 Lotus Honda that Senna drove. This picture taken at the 2022 Velocity Invitational event at Laguna Seca.
