Who is this driver?

When this picture was taken?

 ;) Special for Rickmeister: the size of his driving suit ?  ;)

Holly... which driver do you mean ?  ;D Ah, you mean that picture. Guess into the blue: Derek Bell 1982 ?

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Al Holbert or Hans Stuck? He looks a bit fat,  so probably the American. Or the German? Could be either and I reckon it is 1986.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

I think it is 83, and the driver the late S Bellof.
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

He looks a bit lanky, so the maybe is it Vern Schuppan as for the year, maybe 86.

It's not Stuck, that's for sure. Stuck is much taler and thinner. Could it be Jochen Mass ? That's a tough one.  :-\

Yes it's 1983.  :D

It you have a good resolution you can read the autograph in the right side (but wrtitten in blue so quite unreadable)

Doesn't have to be a 962 driver.  How about Rene Metge, Kees Nierop or Drake Olson?

If he's fat then he should be Michael Andretti.

Oh Sh*t!
Didn't see Gilles admit that it was '83. That would exclude the 961.  My guess now would be Hurley Haywood.
