The Bellasi F1 70 was a Formula One racing car constructed by Bellasi, a small and obscure Italian-Swiss racing constructor, for competition during the 1970 Formula One World Championship. Designed and built by Guglielmo Bellasi, the car is notable for its unique and unconventional construction, as well as its very limited participation in F1 races, with only a handful of attempts at qualification.
The Bellasi F1 70 was a rudimentary Formula One car, even by 1970 standards. It featured a bulky aluminum monocoque chassis, a conventional double-wishbone suspension, and was powered by the widely-used 3.0L Cosworth DFV V8 engine paired with a Hewland FG400 gearbox. However, its basic aerodynamics and crude construction left it uncompetitive compared to rival machines. Despite having a capable engine, the car was hampered by poor handling, limited development, and reliability issues.
