Standing to Bira\u2019s left is Am\u00e9d\u00e9e Gordini himself, \u201cle Sorcier,\u201d with his constant cigarette almost out of sight in his left hand. Standing to Bira\u2019s right is Gordini\u2019s long-time mechanic Lib\u00e9re Teso. The small group to the left in the photograph, which seems immune to what is happening around the car, provides a most interesting counterpoint.
