Nina Rindt (née Nina Lincoln), born on November 27, 1943, in Helsinki, Finland, is a former Finnish model best known for her connection to Formula 1 through her late husband, Jochen Rindt.
Nina was a constant presence in the F1 paddock during the 1960s and became a familiar face, supporting Jochen throughout his racing career.
Jochen Rindt, a talented Austrian driver, was tragically killed in an accident during practice for the 1970 Italian Grand Prix, and he was posthumously awarded the Formula 1 World Championship, making him the only driver to win the title posthumously.
Nina's presence and stoic composure made her an iconic figure in the racing world.
After Jochen’s passing, she largely stepped out of the public eye, though her impact and memories of her time in F1 remain part of motorsport history.

Featuring many famous drivers including three times world champion Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, twice world champion Emerson Fittipaldi and John Surtees OBE, this exciting but shocking film explores how Grand Prix drivers grew sick of their closest friends being killed and finally took control of their destiny.
