The Eye of Formula 1
29.05.2016
German photojournalist Rainer W. Schlegelmilch has an innate capacity to capture extraordinary moments of intense speed. Since 1962, he has intensively documented the events surrounding the world of motor racing; and made friends with legends such as Bernie Ecclestone and Jochen Rindt. His extensive collection comprises of more than 400.000 negatives – there is a reason that he is called the “Eye of Formula 1”.
