1974 Brands Hatch (Arturo Merazrio Iso-Marlboro FW, Vittorio Brambilla March 741, Carlos Pace Brabham BT44).
This needs some clearing up too...
Pace and the BT44 were by no means back of the grid regulars. Admittedly more was expected of their '74 season, but he took a win in the 44B the next year. In front of him is Vittorio Brambilla - a true backmarker, but he took a victory in '75 at the rain-soaked Österreichring, and promptly got so excited he binned the car after crossing the finish line and had to return to the pits dragging the nose along behind him. Arturo Merzario, leading the group, never won a GP, but took sports car victories at the Spa 1000 kilometers and around the Targa Florio in '75 (got some high-resolution photos of that, actually). He also helped drag Lauda out of his burning car after his big crash at the Ring, and wore a cracking hat. So, y'know, kudos. And the car he's driving is the first Williams, and they went on to do pretty well for themselves.
Regardless, this is the battle for 17th place in the British GP, near the back. Again, thought it'd be a little harsh to label some talented individuals as cack.
