Photographer Kenneth Olausson on his career and 10 years with Ronnie Peterson:
"Just turned fifteen, I borrowed my father's box camera to photograph Formula 1 World Champion Jim Clark at the Gelleråsen track. That was the debut. Then followed six years of wandering around the world to follow motorcycle races in Europe and the USA. In 1967, I took the picture of the year for the photo magazine 'SE'. In the autumn of '68, I met Ronnie Peterson. The meeting was the beginning of a long friendship and resulted in me traveling to Monaco in 1969 when Ronnie broke through as a Grand Prix promise. In the fraction of a second and 25,000 pictures later, I had witnessed 48 Grands Prix with Ronnie out of his total of 123 GP starts."
