F1 in the 1970's
Have been watching f1 on espn through the 1970's. Got to 1976 an realised hardly seen a smoke off tyres under braking when locking up. Any reason why? Is it the type of tyre Or is it quality of filming etc. Cheers

There was plenty of smoke back then, probably just the footage you've been watching....
