Glorious images of F1's golden era

Silverstone and Schumacher occupy motor racing followers this weekend, but the drivers in Sunday's British Grand Prix are only the latest of Formula One's dashing daredevils.

Speed kings like Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss were heroes of the Fifties and Sixties, and the romance and the spirit of those times is captured in "Formula One - The Golden Era", an exhibition of the work of Michael Tee at The Special Photographers Company's gallery in London, which runs until 30 August.

Tee took the picture of Fangio (above) as he crossed the line to win the 1951 Spanish Grand Prix and clinch the drivers' title.
