As minuscule as he appears to be, Clay Regazzoni is still the defining element in this outstanding shot by Bernard Cahier from the 1970 Italian Grand Prix.

The Ferrari driver is ending his cool-down lap after clinching his maiden Grand Prix triumph, achieved on this day 53 years ago.

Whether it's the excitement, Monza's typical frenzy or Regazzoni's popular success on the Scuderia's home-ground, there was nothing missing in this milestone moment for the Swiss driver.
