Most beautiful car of the most stunning era of Formula 1 racing. - Ein wunderschönes Auto der faszinierendsten Ära der Formel 1-Geschichte.
R.i.P. Jochen Rindt, World Champion/Weltmeister 1970.
Kids today have no idea how massive a design departure the 72 was in 1970 when it was introduced. Essentially every car looked pretty much the same as it did during the 1960's with the front radiators and oval front intake. Then some wings were added on to the same design, then Chapman came up with this. Then it lasted almost five full seasons.
I remember when I first saw the Lotus 72. It was like something from another planet and made all the other cars look ancient. The only other driver I saw who came even close to Rindt's driving style was Ronnie Peterson. I'm surprised Colin Chapman didn't take the brakes out of the car to save weight. Rindt never used the brakes - why use the brakes when you can slow a car down by sliding the car sideways into the corners? Jochen - du warst der Beste.
Rindt died because of the brakes lol
@@aydankhaliq2967 - rarely has a "lol" been so out of place.
@@probablygraham nah I saw this post on 9gag challenging people to put lol at the end of any sentence lol
Jochen was fast. Up there with Jim. Saw them race each other at Mosport ~ 1966. The only posthumous F1 Drivers' Champion, right?
Biautiful LOTUS 72！！
1966: Rindt and Surtees in the Cooper-Maseratis chasing Jack Brabham - that was a fantastic season.
Magnificent to see a Lotus 72 running again. Anyone know who the driver was decked out in Jochen's distinctive black helmet with white visor?
Tragically, both Clark and Rindt died in cars that had the same "Gold Leaf Team Lotus" red and gold liveries.
anybody know which chassis this is?
The main car looks 1970 set up with aero but the rear suspension has outboard coil springs/dampers, not the torsion bars used up until 1974. So its a hybrid 72E maybe?
Is this his "#2" car, or is this the actual car that Jochen died in ? Very cool car, you can see how much she looks like the L49
The car he died in doesent look that good, lol
I doubt it. Usually cars that were in fatal accidents are completely scrapped.
The wreck of the car Jochen died in was still in existence in a garage of a private collector near Milano in recent years. It never left Italy after the fatal accident in Monza.
For Rindt, Clark, Peterson all died in same vessel
Jim Clark dieded in a different car.
Same goes for Peterson
Der hat vergessen zu blinken!
