About the print
— THE STORY —
France entered Formula 1 with a company that built missiles, and won almost at once. Matra entrusted its chassis to Ken Tyrrell's team and to the hands of Jackie Stewart, and 1969 was a triumph: the drivers' title and the constructors' title, the first for a French chassis, with the MS80 marrying aeronautical finesse to British pragmatism. Then Matra chose another road: national pride demanded French engines, the partnership dissolved, and the Formula 1 adventure soon faded. The revenge came at Le Mans, with three consecutive victories in the Seventies. But that 1969 remains an elegant one-off: the season when missiles learned to corner.

There is a moment almost all of us lived through, and almost nobody photographed: an older person telling you about a match you never saw. Lost Teams tells the stories of teams and champions who no longer exist, and what they left behind.
Every print begins with a true fact: a number that looks like a misprint and is not.
Hang it. One day someone will ask you what it is, and you will know where to begin.
