Ahead of this week's Austrian Grand Prix, we've pulled out of our archives a very peculiar picture from back in the day at Zeltweg, in 1971.

It depicts a perplexed Denny Hulme, seemingly pondering his fate and that of his McLaren, stranded in a puddle of water and mud at the exit of a tunnel.

The McLaren's bizarre position defies logic, as it appears to be nowhere near the intended race track.

Perhaps Denny decided to embark on an off-road adventure, transforming his high-speed outing into a muddy escapade?

And speaking of mud, the current forecast for next Sunday's race at the Red Bull Ring is calling for rain. So maybe more aquatic adventures to look forward to for F1.

In doubt, pack your wellies race fans!
