Who were the 3 greatest #F1 drivers who raced in BOTH the โ€™80s AND the โ€™90s? I reckon the answer is Senna, Mansell & Prost. Almost exactly 40 years ago they finished 1st, 2nd & 3rd in a thrilling #SpanishGP. Click below to read my new #MotorSport column. www.motorsportmagazine.coโ€ฆ.

#OTD in 1977, Janet Guthrie became the first woman to qualify for the #Indy500 Guthrie, an aerospace-engineer-turned-racer, qualified for the Indy 500 with a four-lap average of 188.403 mph in the No. 27 Lightning-Offenhauser. #WomenInSTEM #Motorsport
A black-and-white historical photograph captures Janet Guthrie (1938โ€“present) seated in the cockpit of her open-wheel Indy car, likely following her historic qualification as the first woman for the Indianapolis 500 in 1977. Guthrie, a trailblazing physicist and aerospace engineer turned professional racer, gazes upward and to the side with a bright, triumphant smile, her expression radiating a mix of relief and joy. Her light-colored hair is chin-length and wind-swept. She wears a professional fire-retardant racing suit featuring a "Bryant" sponsor patch and her name, "Janet Guthrie," embroidered in cursive across the chest. She is captured mid-motion, holding her white Bell racing helmet with her left hand. The composition is a tight, medium close-up, focusing on Guthrieโ€™s face and the immediate mechanical environment of the cockpit, which includes dark seat padding and thick safety harnesses. The massive, slick racing tire dominates the blurred background, emphasizing the raw power of the machinery she commanded. The mood is one of hard-won victory and quiet dignity, immortalizing a singular moment in 20th-century sports and STEM history when a woman broke one of the most stubborn glass ceilings in professional sports.
