Every year from 1 to 65 had its ups and downs. A brief look back will give you an idea of what has happened in the last 12 months. Some of it will only become clear again when it is revisited. In this picture story, Daniel Reinhard takes a very personal look back at the year 2025.

The year began as it had to begin, namely with the Planai Classic, which was ...

...frostbite on the gas pedal was the result of the attack by the "dog with a bone".

This was followed by an expedition up the Chasseral with the Iltis.

During the interview with Peter Schetty in Gstaad, I was finally able to present him with my first book.

Whether it's a whopping 50 million euros or just ...

... a ridiculous 5.5, you need the cash cow.

Four friends left me during the 12 months. Two of them were with Helmut Zwickl and ...

... Herbert Völker (right), highly esteemed and beloved professional colleagues from Austria.

Spring at last and with it came not only all the colors ...

... but also all the cars back.

The third piece of bad news was the death of my friend Jochen Mass and ...

... he was followed by Eddie Jordan, probably the most dazzling figure in the F1 paddock.

Even with "Loisl", the Ferrari racers were put in their place by McLaren throughout the season, ...

... so that even in Lugano they had to hide behind pillars.

The highs and lows of the year in fast motion:

Event of the year: Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este

Shit of the year: When setting up my Canon, it adjusted itself unnoticed to the lowest possible resolution (but it's still good enough for the web) ...

Moment of the year: Nico Hülkenberg's surprising podium finish at Silverstone.

Driver of the year: Robert Kubica! He practically won the "24h du Mans" single-handedly.

Car of the year: Bugatti T51

Joke of the year: Porsche patent for more sound fun in tunnels!

Aaaaaand the picture iiiiiiis .....

... the blockbuster "F1" with Brad Pitt by Joseph Kosinski became a big hit, with huge ...

... effort and specially developed Sony cameras were used during the GP weekends.

Reading calms even the minds of the really big ones.

First a paperback with various surprises, then ...

... Lap2 of "Inside Formula 1", which was completed on August 26 at 9:10 p.m. sharp, ...

... just three hours before my very last official working day, ...

... which was of course celebrated in style on the evening of August 27.

Accompanied by a hangover the size of a lion, the evacuation of the studio began on the 28th and ...

... of the photo archive, but so far not every slide has found its new place.

We have already toasted to the successful 15 years of "zwischengas", the end of...

... Michael Schmidt's official F1 career after 750 races was duly celebrated in Lech, ...

... the end of Sauber, with the takeover by Audi, is painful for all Hinwil fans and ...

... the sudden departure of my companion Dr. Marko came as a great surprise.

2026 has long since begun for zwischengas and the first images of the stories to come ...

... are already in the box, even if only half of them. (Picture 36.5)
