Tyrrell's secret shed project that made F1 history |
August 2003 | Paul Fearnley |
Tyrrell 001 was Tyrrell's first effort as a fully-fledged Formula 1 constructor. We take it back where it came from – and get the inside story of its secret build from Jackie Stewart, who celebrates his 86th birthday today, and its designer Derek Gardner He didn't want to, but he had no choice. Matra, or rather its new parent company, Chrysler, was demanding that he use its sonorous (but gutless) V12; Ken Tyrrell, though, wanted to stay with Ford. He approached Brabham and Lotus about the possibility of running a semi-works car – and was politely declined. This was ridiculous: the reigning world champions were in danger of going without. Tyrrell knew now that his team would have to become a constructor if it was to stay competitive and hang onto its prize asset: Jackie Stewart. |
