Who couldn't have fun driving a bathtub full of fuel?

In all seriousness, the Lotus 49 is IMO the most pure F1 car ever. The same can be said about any F1 car from 1965-1969, for that matter.

Let's go back to those thrilling yesteryears of then.

0:24- Prince Charles.

1:27- Graham Hill invents Stance., loses race,

goes on to be the 1968 champ anyway. 3 wins, 3 second places.

Despite that "Jackie Stewart" bloke.. And losing 5 fellow drivers during the season.

pretty sure circle 1 and 10 are wrong. Should be indicating fuel tanks. Fun, but more flammable.

No, they're correct: #1 is a kinda aviation type safety switch (lift cover to push button) and #10 (incredibly enough) is a manual gearshift lever. Not sure if you're kidding, though.
