Widdows whose one and only f1 race was this Brit GP in 1968. He had better days in F2 and sports cars. Claim to fame is that he is one of only 4 to have competed in F1 and Olympics (bobsleigh). Very nice chap. Still going strong and now lives in Mallorca.
@PukkPukk lol Ford never been in F1, Ford was motors if you check some cars are called Lotus-Ford-Cosworth or McLaren-Cosworth the only teams had a Real Motor was the Ferrari, Renault and Alfa Romeo

@kirkconway nope, Never Ford entred in F1. My dad follows F1 racing from 1966-1968 (Born in 1960) And the Ford, in F1 was just Engines. Of Course in 1970's the engines was Matra, Climax, Ford, and Ferrari. Most used the Ford.
@AlanMcB I doubt that they were live, but were broadcast fairly often on tv, I believe on Wide World of Sports. I remember watching with horror when Lorenzo Bandini was killed at Monte Carlo in 1967. Just last month, I met a fellow race fan about my age, and we were reminiscing about the old days of Formula One. He watched the same Monte Carlo broadcast, and also remembers Bandini's fiery crash.
