Among the most famous of the timekeeping ‘WAGs’ was Nina Rindt, wife of the legendary Jochen and herself the daughter of a Finnish racing driver. A model before her marriage to Rindt in 1967 (two years after he won Le Mans), Nina was a stylish addition to the paddock, but also a dab hand with the stopwatch. Keeping an accurate lap-chart is no mean feat, requiring a sharp mind and total concentration. Plus, ideally, high cheekbones, perfect skin and very long legs.
