- John Love is the Rhodesian racing driver who came so close to winning a Formula 1 race. The exciting career of the African privateer is definitely underrated. I upload an underrated video every week. Subscribe for more content. Leave a comment below. Check out the underrated playlist for all videos.
WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL HE WAS MY HERO !!! LOVED HIM !!
I still watch F1 because of him. I remember the Rhodesian GP and the Bulawayo 100 at Khumalo Race Track as a 7 year old in 1967...and then onward. A life time ago. I'm guessing you were there too.
crazy enough this is my grandad!! never.m got to meet him as he had passed away when i was only 3 from lung cancer, but i would have loved to meet him!
thank you. i am a zimbabwean living John Love home town. i watched him in bulawayo in1969 and around 70s when he drove the March 701 against Dave Charlton and Ian. He was a great driver. Unfortunately not much was recorded about these guys.
We're gonna talk about one of the drivers John Love. Camera pans in on Jackie Stewart. Lol...
I was young, I didn't know any better 😂
John is Love John is Life
Put that on a T-Shirt and sell it.
Lovely video, many thanks, I long to have those days back,. A golden era. My best wishes. Gérard lacey in Ireland.
Glad you enjoyed 😀
John Love was my favourite, however, Dave Charlton was South African F1 champion year after year
There are a lot of early South African and Rhodesian drivers no one really seems to know about and sadly not many since.
@@FrontrunnerMotorsport Lots of ZAR and Rhodie bikers who were amazing. Jon Ekerold. Kork Ballington and more. Roy Hesketh circuit was a beauty too
Thank you for posting. Can't agree more 😎👍🏻
Thanks👍
Thanks for the video! He was underrated and unlucky enough to never win in F1.
4:06 --- Another reason to mandate the halo!
Thank you, he was so close.
John love is my grandpa
That's really cool, he was really awesome.
hey robbie, not sure if you know who i am but i’m pretty sure i’m related to you! i’m also john’s grandson!
@thatoneguy9489 really? From what side
This is for you ANTON BUNN
4:06 that looks uncomfortable...
See how the benz is pouring out, just in front of the rear tire.. not good
Very lucky to walk away from it.
That's 60's motorsport for you.
Race in Mozambique
F1 whithout danger is not F1 anymore....
Good quote, I like it.
With the kind of money those woke , tattoo, "is my hair stile good? " software drivers of today , I say let's get the danger back so there is a REASON why they get that kind of money , those driver from back the days should have had this kind of money
Ironic that John Love's car was one of the first to feature sponsors that eventually turned it into a safe, modern, money sport.
When are you going to do a video on the best 10 Americans in F1?
Sometime this year, it's a trickier list to compile because a lot of the Americans are from the Indy 500 era of Formula 1 and of course some are technically F1 race winners but it's hard to know whether or not to include them as only a couple raced outside of the Indy 500 rounds. But it would be an interesting one to do.
@@FrontrunnerMotorsport 👍
Is he living in Harare? I am not sure but I think I met hin next to my grandpas house
He's dead but as far as I know he lived in his home town of Bulawayo
@@FrontrunnerMotorsport icant really remember but i know my grandpa introduce me a former F1 Driver. He lives in GlenLorne next to my Grandpa
he lived in Bulawayo Zimbabwe. I wonder where his son Ross Love is?
what car is it at 4:14?
It is a self entered Lotus 19, or it was.
@@FrontrunnerMotorsport thanks pal!
@@zekeandersson2040 looks like a 72d
4:14 appears to be a Surtees TS7, no other F1 car in that era of 1970 so forth, had a “box-like configuration” of the monoque like the TS7 did.
4:15 definitely Lotus 72, with the airbox though I’m not sure what series of Lotus it is though…. Maybe 72E??
