Jackie Stewart’s Tyrrell 003, taking the championship along with him in 1971.
By the way, 1971 was also the year of the world’s first slick tyres, which as it happens went on Tyrrell’s cars.
Gilles Villeneuve’s impressive crash with Ronnie Peterson, during the 1977 Japanese Grand Prix.
A photographer and a race marshall were killed, sadly, and a lot of spectators were injured.

Patrick Depailler racing at Long Beach, 1978.
One of the most satisfying camera angles to watch Mr. Depailler doing his magic with the Tyrrell 008 — the last Tyrrell he ever drove.
What I especially like about this footage, aside from the obvious, is that it’s pretty easy to spot why Formula 1 was so dangerous back then, even in 1978. You get the “kart feeling” and instability just by watching the action, except the speeds are as mental as todays’.
It is quite something, isn’t it?

Wheel count * 1.5 = fun * 2. Yes, my math is weird.

The very interesting Tyrrell P34 at Paul Picard, 1976.
A woman once said that “wheels are like boobies for a man, and cars have 4 of them”. The P34 was a gorgeous and sexy 6-boobied car.
