EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1975 non-Championship Formula One race, known as the Race of Champions, we witness the fearless Italian driver Lella Lombardi in action at Brands Hatch. Clad in her iconic March 751 car, Lombardi showcased her remarkable skills and determination on the track. Despite retiring after twenty laps, Lombardi's legacy extends far beyond this single race. She made history as only the second woman to qualify for a Formula One race, following in the footsteps of Maria Teresa de Filippis. What sets Lombardi apart is that she remains to this day the only woman to have ever scored points in F1. Lombardi's passion for racing led her to compete in an impressive number of Grand Prixs - a record-breaking achievement among female drivers at that time. With a total of 17 entries and 12 starts under her belt, she defied gender norms and paved the way for future generations of women aspiring to make their mark in motorsport. This extraordinary photograph by Colorsport immortalizes Lombardi's indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication on that memorable day back in March 1975. It serves as a powerful reminder that barriers are meant to be broken and dreams can become reality with perseverance and talent.
