German driver Wolfgang "Taffy"von Trips taking his Ferrari Dino 156 car past
German driver Wolfgang " Taffy" von Trips taking his Ferrari Dino 156 car past the chequered flag at the 1961 British Grand Prix at Aintree. This win kept Von Trips in contention for the Drivers Championship, just behind his teammate Phill Hill who finished second. Tragically though, two raes later at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, Von Trips lost his life following an accident with Jim Clark. Out of respect to his teammate, Phill Hill did not race in the final Grand Prix of the season, but still won the title.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the exhilarating moment when German driver Wolfgang 'Taffy' von Trips skillfully maneuvers his iconic Ferrari Dino 156 car past the chequered flag at the 1961 British Grand Prix held at Aintree. This remarkable victory not only showcased Von Trips' exceptional driving skills but also kept him in contention for the coveted Drivers Championship title. Tragically, just two races later, fate dealt a cruel blow to the racing world. At the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, Von Trips met with a devastating accident involving Jim Clark that claimed his life. The sport mourned the loss of an extraordinary talent and charismatic personality. In a touching display of camaraderie and respect, Von Trips' teammate Phill Hill made an honorable decision. Refusing to race in the final Grand Prix of that season, he paid tribute to his fallen comrade. Despite this heart-wrenching setback, Hill's consistent performance throughout secured him the Drivers Championship title. This poignant image from July 15th, 1961 takes us back to an era where motor racing was filled with adrenaline-fueled action and fierce competition. It serves as a reminder of both triumphs and tragedies that have shaped Formula One history. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time by Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, let us remember Wolfgang 'Taffy' von Tri
