Flashback...
For two decades Maurice Hamilton reported from the F1 paddock with pen, notebook and Canon Sure Shot camera. This month we are at the 1987 Monaco GP with Tony Brooks, who died in May, and John Coombs – car dealers with racing pedigree
I HAD THE PLEASURE OF INTERVIEWING TONY BROOKS more than once. It was impossible not to be struck by a gentleness and humility that gave no indication of his standing as an exceptionally gifted driver. Wins at the Nürburgring Nordschleife and Spa-Francorchamps spoke volumes on their own. I’d be willing to bet, however, that he was not discussing motor racing when this shot was taken at Monaco in 1987.
