Retro Racer

Formula 1 is, these days, quite fantatsically uniform. Restrictive regulations aimed at creating closer racing have stifled the freedom to innovate, and thus nineteen of the world’s best racing drivers – plus Lance Stroll – tend to circulate (albeit closely) in near-identical cars in whatever order they started in.

However in the 1970s thing were rather different. Formula 1 cars looked like this. Or this. Or this. And none were driven by Lance Stroll. Cue Tino Poutiainen‘s ‘Kingston ’73’, which is – technically – not a real 1970s Formula 1 car. But it could be. And for that it’s magnificent.

You can take a look at Tino’s brilliant not-actually-a-Formula-1-car via the link above. It’s much more interesting than watching Max Verstappen having another ‘very lovely’ day at the office, whilst eighteen of the world’s best racing drivers – plus Lance Stroll – finish the race behind him in whatever order they started in.
