Jochen Rindt in fact was german, he was born in Mainz, Gemany. He grew up by his grandparents in Austria and ultimately drove for Austria flag due to his drive license was Austrian but he never acquired austrian citizenship. |

Firstly Jochen Rindt was Austrian not Swedish. Secondly the Lotus 72 in 1971 was being driven by two relatively inexperienced drivers (Emerson Fittipaldi and Reine Wisell). They also came up against the combined forces of Jackie Stewart and Ken Tyrrell, the latter providing the best possible car for JYS. Tyrrell also had Francois Cevert as Stewart's number two who was far quicker than Wisell. As for the development of the 56B this was really an old car that Lotus dragged out and modified and wouldn't have diverted too much attention away from the Lotus 72. |
