Oct.21 (GMM) F1 indulged in a piece of rare nostalgia on Thursday by recreating a famous scene.

As the 1986 world championship fight came to a head in Adelaide, the four title protagonists ? Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet ? posed on the pitwall with Bernie Ecclestone for a media photograph.

Two and a half decades later, there are still five drivers in the running for the 2010 crown, so the ever-present F1 chief executive was back on the pitwall for the same sort of photograph.

This time, the scene of the photo ? featuring Ecclestone and drivers Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Mark Webber, Jenson Button and Sebastian Vettel ? was the brand new Yeongam barrier.

"It was good to do the photo with all the guys," championship leader Webber said afterwards, "going back all those years with some of our heroes obviously in those (1986) photos."
