  F1 News - Grandprix.com > GP Encyclopedia > Drivers > Reine Wisell
Reine Wisell might have been a big Formula 1 star had his career not have happened at the same time as that of his fellow Swede Ronnie Peterson.
Wisell was three years older than Peterson but their careers developed at the same time and by the end of the 1960s both were racing Formula 3 internationally.
It was enough to impress the team however and Wisell was re-signed for the 1971 season but Fittipaldi emerged as the stronger driver and at the end of the season Wisell moved to the Marlboro-supported BRM team.

 8W - Who? - Reine Wisell
Reine Wisell was born in 1941 in the small industrial town of Motala near lake Vättern in central Sweden.
Reine had to split his efforts between the 72 and the Lotus 56B turbine car, which he raced at Oulton Park and Silverstone.
Reine's last F1 race was the 1974 Swedish GP, in a Västkuststugan (makers of cottages in a distinctive Swedish style) sponsored March 741 subbing for Hans-Joachim Stuck who had commitments elsewhere.

 Reine Wisell - Grand Prix Racing - the whole story
Wisell had been brought into the team when Rindt’s death at Monza promoted Fittipaldi to lead driver.
The end of 1972 saw Wisell back at Lotus for the last two races in place of Dave Walker, who had apparently shown himself to be only lukewarm on a good day.
By now Wisell’s star was in deep decline and he managed only two outings in 1973 and one in 1974 as shown in the photo.

 Torsten Palm - Text-Only
There have been nine Swedes in F1, and the 1970s were a golden period for Sweden in F1, coinciding with the Swedish GP being on the calendar.
Wisell had won this title in 1967, and Peterson in 1968, but as Ronnie also swept to the 1969 championship, Palm was quick to make an impression.
And for 1970, with Peterson and Wisell moving on, despite his limited experience Palm assumed favouritism.

 ARA Model Review: Brumm 1:43 Scale Ferrari 312PB
For the start, Andretti and Regazzoni were side-by-side on the front row, but all three Ferraris were given a good run for their money by Reine Wisell in Jo Bonnier's Lola-Cosworth T280.
Unfortunately for Wisell, Regazzoni picked up some wreckage from a crashed Chevrolet Corvette-the Swiss had a mind-boggling spin as a rear tyre blew, and the PB's rear body section flew off, bouncing straight into the screen of Wisell's car.
Mercifully, Reine kept control, but the front of the Lola was pretty badly frayed and both cars had to limp into the pits for attention.
