HISTORY

The Tyrrell – Ford Cosworth 003 is a car that participated at the Formula 1 World Championship in 1971. The car designed by Derek Gardner debut at the Grand Prix of Spain in 1971 on the Montjuic circuit, Jackie Stewart, even though he qualified only in fourth place, managed to win against Jackie Ickx’s Ferrari despite the greater power of his engine.

The Tyrrell 003 was a very agile car and in the rest of the season, it continued to evolve. In the Netherlands Gardner positioned an air intake over the pilot’s head, this was designed to take cold air and convey it to the engine increasing its power. In France, the Tyrrell 003 presented itself with a new front nose completely innovative in Formula One. The muzzle covered the entire front, deflecting the air directly on the front radiator or flowing on the top of the car instead of crossing the front suspension. This made it possible to position the entire car further down, increasing the aerodynamic load.

During the season Jackie Stewart won six grand prizes on the eleven of the season: Spain, Monaco, France, Great Britain, Germany and Canada. This allowed him to win the Formula 1 World Championship with an important gap on the runner-up Ronnie Peterson. For the Scottish rider it was the second world title after the 1968 one on the Matra, while for the Tyrrell it was the first world title and in the same year it also won the constructors thanks to the third place of Francois Cevert.
