Walk in the park (5)

40

With F1 testing continuing at Barcelona it gives us the opportunity to look at some previous races at the old Montjuic Park circuit. This time we are in 1971, with the Lotus of Emerson Fittipaldi chasing Francois Cevert in his Tyrrell. Both were promising young drivers with very distant destinies, but remain a big part of the sport's history.
