Nina Rindt, born Nina Lincoln on November 27, 1943, in the picturesque city of Helsinki, Finland, is a renowned former Finnish model whose life was inextricably linked to the world of Formula 1 through her marriage to the late Jochen Rindt.
As a constant presence in the Formula 1 paddock during the 1960s, Nina became a well-known and familiar face, providing unwavering support to her husband throughout his illustrious racing career. Jochen Rindt, a highly skilled and accomplished Austrian driver, met a tragic end on September 5, 1970, when he was fatally injured in an accident during practice for the Italian Grand Prix. The subsequent posthumous award of the Formula 1 World Championship to Jochen Rindt made him the only driver in history to achieve this remarkable feat.
Throughout her time in the racing world, Nina's poise and composure in the face of adversity earned her the respect and admiration of fans and fellow competitors alike, cementing her status as an iconic figure in the world of motorsport. Although Nina largely stepped away from the public eye following Jochen's passing, her enduring legacy and the memories of her time in Formula 1 continue to be an integral part of motorsport's rich history.
