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 the world to cover motorcycle races in Europe and the USA. In 1967, I took the picture of the year in the photo magazine 'SE'. In the autumn of '68, I met Ronnie Peterson. The meeting marked the beginning of a long friendship and resulted in my trip to Monaco in 1969 when Ronnie broke through as a World Championship prospect. In the blink of an eye and 25,000 pictures later, I had witnessed 48 Grands Prix with Ronnie out of his total of 123 GP starts."
