1970-1972 – Formula 1 (Vol 1)

The Ground Effects Era

1970-1972 were 3 years in Formula 1 that marked an era of great accomplishments

and terrible disasters. 1970 began with the sight of an innovative wedge-shaped

Lotus 72 featuring torsion bar suspension. Austrian driver Jochen Rindt drove the

radical Lotus 72 to a substantial points lead, but his life was cut short in a tragic

accident at Monza. This would be the first and only time the F1 Championship

would be awarded posthumously. In 1971, Lotus experimented with a gas

turbine car, while Ken Tyrrell, and a brilliant driver named Jackie Stewart, took

the 1971 title. In 1972, Lotus teamed up with the John Player Special brand, and

a 25-year old Emerson Fittipaldi became the youngest F1 Champion in history.
