I am not an F1 fan, and have not been so for the last 40+ years, but as a teenager I followed Jim Clark's success and I can even remember where I was when the story of his death was reported - 1/2 way up a hillside on a geology trip.
Somebody had a radio which picked up very little in the Western Highlands. Itt sprung to life when we stopped for a breather and the news broke of his death in Germany.
(Radio was an early Braun transistor set - about £30 (say £600 today) and consumed a PP3 battery in a matter of a few hours!) Too expensive for me as I lived on roughly £30 per month!
Coulthard's laps will be on on the 9th June.
Lotus 25 - first monocoque contruction F1 car, V8, 1.5 1500cc and about 180BHP IIRC
