He participated in 23 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 4 October 1970. He achieved one podium, and scored a total of 13 championship points.

CareerEdit

Wisell won the Swedish Formula Three Championship in 1967.

In 1970 he entered Formula One with Team Lotus as a late-season replacement for John Miles, who had departed after team leader Jochen Rindt had been killed at Monza on 5 September. Wisell’s debut was in October at the 1970 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. The race was the best result of his Formula One career with a third-place finish, trailing only his teammate and future champion Emerson Fittipaldi and Pedro Rodríguez and finishing ahead of title contender Jacky Ickx. Subsequent races for Team Lotus were less successful and he was dropped by the team at the end of the 1971 season. He continued to compete in Formula One with BRM and March. He also participated in several non-Championship Formula One races. Wisell retired in 1974 after his home Grand Prix.

DeathEdit

Wisell died suddenly on 20 March 2022, aged 80, in his Thailand home.<ref name=mem /><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
