The driver: Miguel Ángel Guerra

Miguel Ángel Guerra (Buenos Aires, August 31, 1953) is a former Argentinian racing driver, a protagonist of Formula 1 in the 1981 season. Having grown up in South American junior formulas and distinguished himself in Formula 2, he was hired by Osella to partner with Beppe Gabbiani. He participated in four Grand Prix, managing to qualify only once: the 1981 San Marino Grand Prix, his only race, which ended on the first lap due to contact with Eliseo Salazar's March, costing him a fractured wrist and ankle. After his Formula 1 adventure, he returned to race successfully in South America, becoming vice-champion of Formula 2 Codasur in 1984 and winning the TC 2000 title in 1989. His signature represents a rare and fascinating piece for collectors of Formula 1 history.

What is an original autographed photograph?

An original autographed photograph is a print on which the driver has personally affixed their signature, without intermediaries or reproductions. It differs from printed facsimiles by verifiable elements such as the natural and irregular pressure of the stroke, the brilliance of the ink on the photographic surface, and the spontaneity of the graphic gesture.
