Warning: if you are a real fan of Baby Bertha and are of a nervous disposition I suggest you look away now.
Mr Steven's get's past Mr Ronchetti in the Lotus
Hear a missed gear from somewhere and the next thing is Mr Ward has caught the the grass in Bertha and is spinning towards the Foggy Esses (re named a couple days before - sorry missed the new name) and the next thing. . .
I'm shouting 'noooooooo' by this point but in true photographer style I fight through the tears. . .
By now Pete Stevens in the Carlton has gone leaving the carnage behind him
Trust me - full sized this is NOT the face of a happy man
Joe Ward get's out to take a look - I am weeping like a girl by now. . .
I managed to speak with Joe on Sunday morning and it seems that he found a handful of neutrals (which is what I heard) had to really stamp on the brakes, touched the grass and that was it - 3 seconds later and it was all over.
He did however confirm that it looks a lot worse than it really is (on first inspection) and luckily he has the original molds for the bonnet etc and that the motor etc is fine, although he was a little miffed that the new radiator he had fitted for this season is destroyed.
For me - at least he was okay and BB can and will be back next season.
