After we got that amazing photo of Jackie Stewart at the 1970 Spanish Grand Prix our research led us to this fascinating highlights package of the race. It has a bit of everything, typical F1 politics messing around with qualifying, a fiery accident, close racing and a runaway winner thanks to a high rate of attrition.
The footage also takes you back to a time you can scarcely believe existed. The fact the race continued while the burning debris from the Oliver–Ickx crash was being attended to by fire marshalls makes you thankful to know that would be incomprehensible by today’s standards.
We know you’ll enjoy this wonderful archival footage. It goes for 24 minutes so make sure you’re set and ready to be transported back in time.
