There’s one way to ensure your mechanics won’t badly tighten one of the bolts in your Formula Car. Jochen Rindt knew how it was done!

Jochen and Nina Rindt (year unknown, but I suspect it’s 1969)
Jochen Rindt, the Formula 1 pilot I never get tired of watching and reading stories about, especially from Nina. Unfortunately, like many great pilots, he was short-lived.
He died at Monza, in 1970, at the hands of a Lotus 72C.
