Hey everyone,
Just came across this thread now as I just heard that Heinz Harald Frentzen used to smoke.
I used to smoke back then too but they were different times.

Can't help but wonder, are some drivers smokers? If so, who?Jan Magnussen is IMHO the only current driver who smokes.

In the 1964 British GP at Brands, Innes Ireland (who finished 10th in the BRP) pulled off the track just beyond the finish line and jumped out for a smoke.

There is a video of Keke walking back to the pits smoking a cigarette.
Who was the old driver who'd get into the car and hand his cigar to the mechanic?

Not sure about the cigar, could have been one of the pre-war Mercedes
drivers - von Brauchitsch possibly. He was an aristocrat and treated is
team mate Lang, who was of humble origins rather scornfully.
Of course up until the 1960s almost everyone smoked and racing drivers were no exception. Stirling Moss certainly smoked cigarettes at one time and
both Hawthorn and Collins smoked pipes.
Safety standards were a lot less rigourous then, as witnessed by this
picture of Alfonso de Portago having his fuel level checked:

I donrCOt think it was regarded as particularly sophisticated - although your
social status was, to some extent, marked by the brand you smoked - it was just something that almost everybody did (IrCOm talking the 1950s and early 60s).
