Really,,,I suppose the trick is "in an F1 car"
According to the big book it was 69 Monaco for his last F1 race win..I'm thinking Tasman but I find no win in 69.. which might not have strictly speaking been an F1 car..

That's it matt21, but in my book it was called GKN-Daily Express international Trophy.

The race was for F1 and F5000 cars, Hill won on aggregate from two heats.

Gold star for the starting position for the only non-ICE on the grid?

Not much interest in the 70s it seems, so let's try something more recent;

The 1982 Alfa Romeo reportedly had an interesting aerodynamic device, what was that and did it work?

Lead, sliding skirts were now gone.

Is it some form or ride height adjust to drop it onto the fixed skirts?

In 1982 the 6cm-ground-clearance rule was dropped. So there was no need to drop the car.

Alfa reportedly had developed an invisible air-driven skirt, which was never raced.

Surely a fore-boder of the barge-boards.

Anyone can go as I'm out anyways, but I owed you all a response.

I wonder if this is not a variation of the "clic-clac" design of the Ligier JS11/15 tried on the Alfa Romeo T182 by Gerard Ducarouge.

I hope it is okay to post a new one.

What was special about the brakes on Peterson's March in Monaco 1971?
