Nina Madeline Rindt (née Lincoln; born 1943), also formerly known as Nina Hood, Lady Bridport, is a Finnish former model, Formula One motor racing personality, and member (by marriage) of the British aristocracy.[1]
She is best known for being the wife, and later the widow, of race car driver Jochen Rindt (1942–1970), who was posthumously awarded the World Drivers' Championship for 1970 after dying in a practice crash the day before that year's Italian Grand Prix.[1][2]
During Jochen Rindt's Formula One career, Rindt was often seen and photographed in the pit lane at Grand Prix weekends.[1][3] In 2011, La Gazzetta dello Sport, an Italian sports newspaper, named her as the most beautiful Formula One wife of all time.[1]
In the 21st century, the Compax, a Universal Genève chronograph that Rindt used to wear trackside, has come to be nicknamed the 'Nina Rindt watch' in her honour.[2][4][5][6]
