Flashback...
For two decades Maurice Hamilton reported from the F1 paddock with pen, notebook and Canon Sure Shot camera. This month we are at an all-important payphone in the media room with René Arnoux after his win at the 1983 Canadian GP
RENÉ ARNOUX’S VICTORY IN THE 1983 CANADIAN Grand Prix was his first in a season that had seen six different winners in the previous seven races. Having claimed three pole positions thus far, Arnoux finally pulled off the sort of dominant race performance he had been threatening for some time. Clearly wishing to savour the moment, the Ferrari driver kept his winner’s laurels in place long after leaving the podium.
