In the E-Series (F1 single-seaters built between 1973 and 1976), dubbed the “Niki Lauda” race, England’s Stuart Hall, who started from pole position, triumphed with an all-white 1973 McLaren M23 carrying the Y of the Yardley cosmetics brand. In the end, he came out on top against two compatriots, very well-equipped like himself, Nicholas Padmore (Lotus 77) and Michael Lyons (McLaren M26, ex-James-Hunt). But he didn’t need to beat Marco Werner because the very experienced German, a three-time winner of Le Mans 24 Hours, was forced to retire in his Lotus 76 from the 1974 season (ex-Ronnie Peterson). This is already Stuart Hall’s 4^th win in the Principality, after the inaugural one in 2016 and two more in 2022. And it may not be the last, with two more F1 races scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
