SPARK-MODEL - TYRRELL - F1 003 N 30 WORLD CHAMPION ITALY GP 1971 JACKIE STEWART

The 1971-early 1972 Tyrrell F.1s were called the 002-003-004. They were more developed versions of the 001: the 002 was built for Cévert, taller than Stewart, the 003 was entrusted to Stewart, while the 004 was used as a reserve car, then fielded three times by the factory team and finally sold in South Africa. During 1971 there were several aerodynamic developments, and the first victory came at the Spanish GP with Stewart. Victories followed for Stewart in Monaco, France, Great Britain, Germany and Canada, while Cévert won in the United States with the 002. At the end of the season, Stewart was world champion with 62 points, against 33 for Ronnie Peterson at the wheel of the March. Third was Cévert, with 26 points. Stewart thus obtained the second of his three world titles. Tyrrell won the constructors' championship with 73 points ahead of BRM (36) and Ferrari (33).

In 1971, the year of his second world title, Jackie Stewart used the Tyrrell 001, 002 and 003, alternating the various chassis between tests and races. At the Italian GP, ​​in Monza, Stewart drove the 003: having qualified in 7th place, he had to retire due to an engine failure, one of the very few negative results of the season. Stewart won 6 GPs that year, achieving 6 pole positions and 3 fastest laps.
