Description
As Formula 1 completes seven decades of racing, this range of 8 special artworks has each one dedicated to a decade of racing from the 1950s to the present day, plus an additional one looking to the future of the sport. The stars of the 1973 season were Jackie Stewart and his car, the Elf Tyrrell-Ford 006 car. Tyrrell, founded by Ken Tyrrell, started racing in 1958 and started building its own cars in 1970. The team experienced its greatest success in the early 1970s, when it won three Drivers' Championships and one Constructors' Championship with Jackie Stewart. In deference to the principal sponsor, the Elf fuel company, the car was painted in French racing blue.
