Honda RA272 No.19 Monaco GP 1965 Ronnie Bucknum in 1:43 scale
This is the Honda RA272 No.19 Monaco GP 1965 Ronnie Bucknum in 1:43 scale by Spark.
Ronnie Bucknum drove the Honda RA272 No.19 during the 1965 Monaco Grand Prix, a race that marked a significant moment in both his career and Honda's presence in Formula 1. Bucknum, an American driver, was one of the first to race for Honda in F1, a brand new entrant to the sport at the time. The 1965 season was unique as it was Honda's first full season in F1, and the RA272, with its V12 engine, showed promise. Although Bucknum did not achieve a podium finish at Monaco, the season was crucial in helping Honda establish themselves as a competitive force. The Monaco GP itself was a classic, with Graham Hill eventually taking the win. This race was also notable for the growing tension between British and European teams, who had dominated F1 up until then, and new entrants like Honda. The 1965 season would later be remembered for Honda's growing influence in the sport, and Bucknum’s involvement in this pioneering era laid the foundation for their future successes.
