FORMULA ONE'S MOST IMPORTANT CAR? The Story of the Lotus 72 (1970-1975)
Six seasons this car was in service, and it won three constructors' titles, two drivers' championships, 20 races and numerous podiums.

But hang on a second- Sidepods, anti-dive and anti-squat torsion bar suspension, wings, air box, pointy nose... this looks like a modern car! Yes- We keep hearing about the Lotus 49 being the blueprint, but was the 72 really the birth of the modern F1 car? Let's have a look. Enjoy! And remember to like and subscribe for more!
