Reine Wisell: The Swedish Sensation.

Following in the footsteps of a legend is never easy, but when Reine Wisell stepped into the Lotus seat after Jochen Rindt, he did so with incredible composure. This tribute captures Wisell at Kyalami in 1971, deep in thought and focused on the challenge ahead.

Driving the Lotus 72C, Reine was part of an era where talent was raw and the risks were immense. This print captures the quiet intensity of a driver who was instrumental in the success of Team Lotus during a transformative period in F1 history.
