Grand Prix motor racing has its roots in organized automobile racing that began in France in 1894 it has quickly evolved from a simple road race from one town to another to endurance tests for car and Innovation driver and soon saw competition speeds the player exceeding 100 mph but because the races were held on open roads there were frequent accidents with deaths resulting from both drivers and spectators.
The drivers in the Formula One race in the Great French Price for the Grand Prix counting for the World Championship Formula One The minimum distance of a Grand Prix is ​​305 km, but no race may last more than two hours.
The first event was planned was to be a short essay in Paris organized by Le Velocipede in 1887, but only one turned competitor and it was abandoned when the first organized event was actually a trial run of reliability in Paris Rouen in 1894 over a distance of 126 km was organized by a newspaper, the Journal Small and horseless carriage win to be safe, easily controllable and reasonably economical to run.
A major event in the race came in 1900 when James Gordon Bennett, Jr. from 1841 to 1918, the owner of the New York Herald newspaper and the International Herald Tribune in Paris, France, established the Gordon Bennett Cup in Europe, an annual race that attracted international competitors Each country was allowed to enter up to three cars Bennett Following in the United States, the wealthy William Vanderbilt II Kissam launched the Vanderbilt Cup at long Island, New York in 1904. Influenced by these events race, Louis Chevrolet 1878-1941, an employee of a Swiss-born French manufacturer of motor vehicles would move to the United States from 1910 would become a major figure in American racing and the designer of a car for General Motors that bears his name.
Twenty-one entries left Paris on July 22, and the first home was Count de Dion in a steam engine led tractor Dion Unfortunately for De Dion, the jury decided that his car was not a practical road vehicle and instead awarded the prize jointly to the next two big cars, a Peugeot and a Panhard-Levassor the average speed gain, respectively, was 17 km exhilarating h many races in the city were executed in the following years including Paris to Bordeaux and return this 1895 event, a race was won by Emille Levassor conducted February 1 cylinder, 4-bhp Panhard-Levassor he drove 48 hours 48 minutes virtually nonstop.
Because his car only had two seats instead of the required four years, he was denied the prize of 31,000 francs, but it is his statue overlooking the finish line at the Porte Maillot in Paris Another interesting entrant in this race was the Peugeot of André Michelin which used pneumatic tires Typically wheels used on other cars were either iron or solid rubber initially the air tire was ridiculed as impractical and indeed Michelin's car suffered many apartments because of poor road conditions at the turn of century Panhard would dominate racing until the end of the century, following years searching more for speed and the easiest way is to increase the size of the motor 7 and 8 Soon liter engines were commonplace and even a 16-liter engine was produced.

The evolution of the design of the chassis, brakes and tires will not continue, but in 1901 that changed with the introduction of the 35 hp Mercedes It was the first sports racing car which featured a four-cylinder engine with mechanical valves, a honeycomb heater, a steel frame, pneumatic and an ignition magneto After solving some problems early reliability and coupled to the increase of the engine's ability to 9 liters producing 60 hp car became a winner of the constant race Each of the major manufacturers have contributed to the progress Renault car design has produced a car with the drive shaft and a rigid rear axle a superb example of this Mercedes is exposed to Manor Motor Museum steal in Sussex, England.
In 1906, the first and then the race with the name Grand Prix was organized by the Automobile Club of France ACF, and run over two days in June's Le Mans based circuit used was about to triangular shape, each lap covering 105km 65 miles six towers were to be executed every day, and each turn took about an hour using the relatively primitive cars of the day of 32 entries representing 12 automakers, Hungarian-born Ferenc Szisz 1873-1944 won the 1260 kilometer race in a Renault.
Races in this period were very nationalistic affairs, with some countries set up their own races, but no formal championship tying them together the rules vary from country to race to race, and generally centered on up not least weight in an effort to limit power by limiting the size of the motor indirectly 10-15 liter engines were quite common, usually with no more than four cylinders and producing less 50hp cars all had mechanics on board and the driver, and no one was allowed to work on the cars during the race, except these two key to Renault won the first grand Prix was considered removable rims, which allowed changes tires are without having to lever the tire and the tube and out of the rim given the state of the roads, such repairs were frequent.
In 1900 Gordon Bennett, the owner if the New York Herald, established a series of races in his name every nation had a team of three cars chosen by each national automobile club in 1902, Mors introduced spring dampers which helped to improve dramatically handling with cars now approaching 100 mph speed races, organized on the open roads, caused several fatal accidents some of which included spectators.
The Automobile Club de France which was formed in 1895, decided, after many disagreements on the regulations to hold their own races in 1906, the French held the first Grand Prix for manufactures on a 64-mile course near Le Mans of the 32 cars that started the race 11 remained after 12 rounds spread over two days, the winner was Ferenc Szisz, a Hungarian, driving a Renault 90hp His Renault uses removable rims created by Michelin that allowed him to change tires in 2 to 3 minutes instead of 15 minutes usual another important event this year was the first Targa Florio organized by the Sicilian rich Vicenzo Floria, the race covered three laps of 148 km on the roads 832 mountain unchanged since the Punic wars.

In 1907, the Germans held their own race, Kaiserpreis for passenger cars of less than 8 liters and weighing less than 1165 kg and the race was won by Nazzaro in a Fiat France, the cradle of motor racing was to be among the Rans also having dominated the race until 1906, they were supplanted by the Alfa of Italy and Germany Mercedes racing definition before WW1 era was the largest ACF 1914 Prix race was held on a 36 circuit 63 km near Lyon and would last 20 laps the formula for this year engine capacity limited to 4500cc and weight at 1100 kg Peugeot, determined to return France to the forefront motorsport entered three cars that have featured four-wheel brakes.
The main challenge for France were the Germans led by five Mercedes With the European political tensions come to a head of the race could not escape having a Max marin political connotation, pilot director Mercedes racing car led from the start with the Peugeot of Georges Boillot second leading Mercedes developed engine problems and the sixth round of the Peugeot took the French head crowd erupted in patriotic events the order was now Peugeot, the Mercedes of Lautenschlager, a other Peugeot and Mercedes Wagner.
It was Wagner's turn to make a charge and the 11 lap, he forced his way into second The second Peugeot, driven by Goux began to overheat and was intended to withdraw That left the Peugeot Boillot yet before the Germans come on the 15th lap was completed with the Peugeot 2 minutes and 28 seconds ahead of the Mercedes driven by Wagner After a conservative race in the early laps Lautenschlager is now ready to begin his march Passing teammate, he began to close the gap on the first Peugeot Boillot drove for all he was worth, but nothing could stop the Mercedes to take the Peugeot head, unable to withstand the strain broke a valve and Mercedes retired now up the first three places and finished with Lautenschlager claim his second title of the ACF great sullen crowd Price responded with only a handful of app laudissements while the Mercedes pits erupted in joy on this sour note for France, the race was stopped on the European continent Several top drivers without a European plug crossed the Atlantic and entered the Vanderbilt Cup, Indianapolis and the US Grand Prix.
Racing on public roads was illegal in England and the British drivers have had to resort to race in Ireland and on the continent, the British car industry has suffered accordingly In response to this group of rich enthusiasts led by Hugh Locke-King F planned a racetrack to be built on his property in Surrey in 1907, an oval track with banked corners was built Handicap races were held which has become as much a social event as a car race in fact the races were organized more like horse racing that the drivers had to wear certain colors instead of numbers on their cars would organize Bookmakers still paris Brooklands was a fantastic race and served as site for many racing speed record attempts in Europe continued on public roads closed, but they are not profitable because it was impossible to charge entrance fees, Also racing were very dangerous lacks crowd control the 1920s saw the advent of shorter circuits built specifically throughout Europe in 1922, the Ital ian Grand Prix was held in one of these new tracks, the Autodromo Monza the Autodromo consisted of a 3-4 route mile course and a banked oval February 8 mile for its inaugural race 100,000 spectators poured through its doors the event has become a Fiat parade where many of other manufactures pulled the French GPs later this year, on closed roads near Strasbourg, was again dominated by Fiat.
1925 saw a number of developments of new road racing circuits were built throughout Europe, including Miramas, near Marseille and Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium riding mechanics were banned as they had was America's first world championship was organized and understand French, Italian and Belgian grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 this championship was between factory rather than the Alfa Romeo drivers won this inaugural year and celebrated the victory by incorporating a laurel wreath in his badge Unfortunately, it also marked the culmination of the race of the grand Prix until the next decade because of escalating costs and little perceived benefit most major manufacturers have decided to abandon their factory racing efforts.
Grand Prix on a strict formula based on engine size and weight was dropped in its place, the races were run in the Formula Libre Rules Instead of big manufacturers, drivers ran as privateers or in partnership with specialized car manufacturers race such as Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Bugatti dominated racing during this period in the hands of drivers such as Louis Chiron in 1929, William Grover Williams won the first Monaco grand Prix at the wheel of a racing car Bugatti were some of the most beautiful cars ever built but suffered from inadequate brakes a famous quote attributed to Ettore Bugatti after criticism of its brakes were I build my cars to go, not stop in 1930, Alfa Romeo decided to hire a new company to direct all their racing efforts firm was called Ferrari and was directed by Enzo Ferrari.

An event that emerged during this period was the Mille Miglia Mille Miglia was conceived as a way to promote and improve the Italian car design and reliability Improved Italian roads unfortunately not a priority a recent visit to the country can attest.
The Mille Miglia provided a test of nearly 1,000 miles exhausting good roads, bad and indifferent The road is covered in Vicenza, south along the Adriatic in Pescara, west of Rome and northwest Brescia It was the province of Italian drivers for most of its history Traditionally, the first cars, fans, leave Brescia at 9 am, at intervals of 1 minute and back 16-24 hours later because of the number of participants the work teams would leave some time in the morning Each car would have its starting time painted on the car, which will allow spectators some indication of their relative positioning.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators align the roads to cheer their heroes on In fact, there was a lack of crowd control that actually provoke this race to give up after the 1957 race, which saw the death of the Marquis of Portago, his co-pilot and ten spectators This race has hosted many epic discs such as that undertaken by Caracciola in 1931 and Moss Jenkinson in 1955 but no one could top the Mille Miglia 1930 race Nuvolari night passed Varzi with his headlights off in three weeks made Varzi reciprocate by returning fire from a car to win the Targa Florio.
Most of the races were carried out on a long circuit of closed public roads, not private tracks built for this purpose This was the case of the circuit in Le Mans the 1906 Grand Prix and Targa Florio run on 93 miles Sicilian roads, circuit German Kaiserpreis 75 miles long, and the French circuit Dieppe only 48 miles, used for the 1907 grand Prix exceptions were the ovoid shape is heavily tilted nearly oval of Brooklands in England ended in 1907 the Indianapolis Motor Speedway first used in 1911, and the Autodromo Nazionale Monza in Italy opened in 1922.
In 1922, Italy became the first country outside France to host a race using the name Grand Prix, run at Monza This was quickly followed by Belgium and Spain in 1924 and later extended to other countries, strictly speaking, it still wasn ta formal championship, but a loose collection of races run to various rules a rule formula had appeared just before the First World war finally based on engine size and weight, but it was not universally adopted t however, in 1924, many national automobile clubs have banded together to form the international Association of Recognized Automobile clubs AIACR, including the international CSI Sports Commission was empowered to regulate grand Prix and other international racing Since the launch of the grand Prix, competition was performed according to a strict formula based on engine size and vehicle weight s These regulations were virtually abandoned in 1928 with a known time in the Formula Libre when race organizers decided to run their events with Almo st no limit from 1927 to 1934 the number of races considered to have the status of Grand Prix exploded from five events in 1927 to nine events in 1929 to eighteen in 1934 before the peak of World War II the year.

Individual names and major companies have emerged during this period that changed the face of automotive design and engineering.
The Monaco Grand Prix in 1933 was the first time in the history of the sport that the grid was decided by timed qualifying rather than the luck of a draw all competing vehicles were painted in national colors for the blue french drivers, green for the British, red for Italian, yellow for the Belgians, and white for the Germans in 1934, the Germans stopped painting their cars, after the paint had been left out of a Mercedes Benz in an effort to reduce weight unpainted metal soon had the German vehicles dubbed by the media as the silver arrows.
French cars continued to dominate led by Bugatti, but also including Delage and Delahaye until the 1920s, when the Italian Alfa Romeo and Maserati began to beat the French cars regularly at the time, the Germans engineered vehicles unique race as seen in the photo here of the body aerodynamic teardrop Benz presented the grand Prix of Europe 1923 in Monza.
In the 1930s, however, nationalism entered a new phase when the Nazis encouraged Mercedes and Auto Union to further the glory of the Reich, the government has provided some money to the two manufacturers, but the extent of assistance in their hands was exaggerated in the media; government subsidies amounted to about 10 of the operating costs of the two racing teams both German brands completely dominated the period from 1934 to 1939 winning all but three of the races run in the years cars of that era were the cars disappeared mechanic riding in the early 1920s, with 8 to 16 cylinder engines supercharged produce more than 600 horses on alcohol fuels.

From October 1923 the idea of ​​an automobile championship was discussed at the Annual Fall Conference of the International Association of Automobile Clubs AIACR Recognized in Paris However, the discussion centered around the increased interest in the races manufacturers and the inaugural European Grand Prix at Monza in 1923 the first world championship was held in 1925, but was for manufacturers only, consisting of four races of at least 800 km long race which formed the first Constructors Championship were the Indianapolis 500, the grand Prix of Europe, and the French and Italian Grands Price a Europe consisting of great big Championship Price in a number of countries designated major Events was set for conductor in 1935, and has participated each year until the outbreak of World war II in 1939.
In 1934, the International Association of Recognized Automobile Clubs AIACR announced a new formula The formula that limits the car driver less fuel and oil 750 kg without restricting engine size The length of the race a Grand Price was a 500 km minimum Hitler's Germany sponsored two teams to compete in this new formula, Mercedes and Auto Union Each company split an annual subsidy of 450,000 Reichsmarks with additional bonuses for certain results that money would cover only a small part of the vast sums needed It has been estimated that Mercedes needed an annual amount of about four million Reichsmarks to support their racing in Alfred Neubauer, director of the team, they had just the right person who knew how spend their money is generally believed that a 2-liter engine was all that could be mounted in a racecar appropriate under these restrictions, but due to the use of new lightweight materials German cars had engines over 4 liters both teams built new cars that were faster still built race cars this result the new formula was intended to lower speeds Mercedes chief designer, Dr. Hans Nibel, a car designed around a classic layout but incorporating some of the latest developments in racing technology.
Auto Union merger of four companies - Horch, Audi, Wanderer and DKW - chose a more radical concept for their Type A Grand Prix car designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, the mid-engined car placed the lowest driver and more towards front, he had a V16 supercharged 4 of 4 liters which took place on special fuels mixed with a very secret formula the exhaust gas that poured from the engines was so high that viewers complain of nausea and headaches Auto Union as the Mercedes used 4 wheel independent suspension suspension was then replaced by a Dion system in the Mercedes to improve handling over bumps and high speed cornering two cars were expected to make their debut at Avus, near Berlin during the practice of the Mercedes all suffered from carburetor problems and were forced to shoot a parade of three car s Auto Union racing before 200,000 German spectators turned out to be the highlight of the German team as one car was left to finish third behind the Alfas of Guy Moll and Chiron Two weeks later, German cars tasted their first blood.
The Eifelrennen was held at the Nurburgring, saw the German cars finished 1-2 with the Mercedes of von Brauchitsch leading Auto Union Stuck Before the start of the race the Mercedes team created a little excitement when was found that their cars were 1 kg over the weight limit at the suggestion of von Brauchitsch, Alfred Neubauer was paint each car removed to meet the weight limit, leaving the polished aluminum of the cars and so began the legend of German cars silver arrows were beginning to earn their stride later this year the Union of Auto Hans Stuck win the grand Prix of Germany and Switzerland, while Mercedes is Caracciola Fagioli won the Italian and the Spanish.

In 1935, the two Mercedes and Auto Union continued to develop their cars with Auto Union replacing the rear leaf springs with torsion bar suspension two had enlarged their engines, Auto Union now 4950cc 375bhp while the Mercedes was to 3990cc 430bhp Alfa Romeo made a valiant attempt to stop the German assault which led to a suction drive from 540bhp twin-engine gas known as bimotore name built by Scuderia Ferrari in Modena this car was designed for fast circuits like that Avus Interestingly both engines drove the rear wheels, but its high tire wear and prodigious gas consumption proved its Achilles heel A conductor European Championship was introduced and was quickly claimed by Rudolf Caracciola after victories in Belgium, Switzerland and Spain continue to Rudolf Caracciola won the title again in 1937 and 1938 Bernd Rosemeyer in that triumph in 1936 German cars dominated the Grand Prix racing and with the exception of remarkable victories by great drivers such as Nuvolari Chiron and the Italian and French cars had to console himself with Class 1 A 5 liters carts such a victory was the German Grand Prix in 1935.
Before an estimated crowd of 300,000 fans fanatical Germans, the Nazi official Adolf Hitler and the German Grand Prix 1935 was held the Mercedes team consisted of Fagioli, Brauchitsch and Caracciola while Auto Union was blocked, and Rosemeyer Varzi Tazio Nuvolari had wanted to drive for Auto Union, but the seat went to his bitter rival Nuvolari drove instead a modified Alfa P3, but suffered from a disability 50-100 hp compared to the German cars at the start the race Caracciola made a leap head followed by Nuvolari who had made a good start and Rosemeyer Fagioli soon passed the Alfa undernourished race developed into a battle between the two German stars Caracciola and Rosemeyer but someone forgot say Nuvolari Nuvolari in the 10th round himself had pushed ahead a series of pit stops followed and Nuvolari found himself relegated to sixth driving like a man posse dice, he first went Fagioli and Caracciola and Rosemeyer and finally stuck Going into the last lap, it was still 30 seconds behind the leader Brauchitsch and all seemed lost but never Nuvolari slow Brauchitsch informed of the progress of Nuvolari in the ranks of his pit crew drove his car to the limit and thereby destroyed his tires let go a half a lap to go and Nuvolari streaked to victory in the beginning, there was dead silence , MotorSport reported and innate sportiness Germans triumphed over their astonishment Nuvolari received a wonderful welcome this admiration for a great champion was not shared by the representatives of the Third Reich Korpsfьhrer Hьhnlein anger tore his victory speech as Nuvolari was crowned winner of the Italian flag was raised after much research and add salt to the injury of the Nazi Nuvolari produced a record of e Italian anthem he had brought with him for good luck the Korpsfьhrer was not amused This scene will be repeated a year later when another outsider named Jessie Owens woul d history.
1936 was the year of the Auto Union Type C driven by Bernd Rosemeyer The engine was enlarged to 6006cc again and produced an astonishing 520 bhp Astounding not so much for its size to power ration, but that they could adapt an engine of this size and power in a car formula 750kg Rosemeyer won German, Italian and Swiss Grands Prix as well as the Coppa Acerbo Eifelrennen and Mercedes actually withdrew from the race to develop their counter attack their independent racing department created in 1935 under the direction of engineer aged 30, Rudolf Uhlenhaut received a fresh infusion of the best engineers Mercedes and ordered to develop a new car in 1937, Mercedes has created a W125 with a W25 reworked, both of which produce approximately 600 horsepower, speeds up to 200 mph and the wheel slip ratio in each performance is unmatched W125 by any other manufacturer, in fact, it would not be until the Can-Am cars of the 1960s another race car would be equal to the power of the Mercedes Grand Prix 1937 The Avusrennen this year Renowned been run on a modified circuit at the suggestion of Adolf Hitler, the northern curve was rebuilt and strong lateral inclination which allows much higher speeds German cars ran with special streamlined body victory of Hermann Lang at the wheel a Mercedes at an average speed of 162 61 mph was not beaten until AJ Foyt averaged 164,173, winning the Indianapolis 500 in 1967 as the final exclamation point to these big machines, the January 28, Rudolf Caracciola another record class in a car with 12 cylinders closed special profile body It set a maximum speed of 436 h 9 km during a race than a kilometer in one direction with a starting v olant This is the highest speed ever driven on an ordinary road.
Tragically, before the start of the 1938 season, in the heart of the Auto Union team was torn apart by the death of its star Bernd Rosemeyer died trying a speed record on the highway Frankfurt-Darmstadt Team Auto Union, even with the talent of Nuvolari was never the same again AIACR instituted a new formula that limited the size of the 3-liter supercharged 5 liter or 4 without compressor Mercedes and Auto Union responds to this challenge without pause and continued to dominate Alfa Romeo abandoned the formula and concentrated on 1 liter 5- carts class for entering the large Tripoli Price 1939 Alfa Unbeknownst, Mercedes secretly prepared two cars 1 W165 5 liter for Herman Lang and Caracciola and quickly finished 1-2 Only the outbreak of the second World war would stop the German juggernaut cars of that era were rightly considered as one of the great racing cars ever produced by man.
After 6 years of war, most of Europe was in ruins, with much of its auto industry After being converted into ammunition or production of military vehicles were targeted loans to heavy aerial bombardment of Germany was still forbidden race when in September 1945, the first race of the meeting took place the winners of three races that were held were Amedйe Gordini in a car is left on the parts, Henry Louveau in a Maserati and Jean-Pierre Wimille in a type 59 Bugatti There were few modern racing cars available to compete Talbot-Lago, the French company, began work on May 4 liters car in Europe, there were several Maseratis and prewar Alfas available, including two 158s that were hidden in a cheese factory during the war.

There were only four class Grand Prix race was held in 1946. The first pilot included Giuseppe Nino Farina, Jean-Pierre Wimille, Louis Chiron, Achille Varzi and Tazio Nuvolari The International Automobile Fйdйration of FIA was formed to organize the sport internationally a formula was set for 1947 which enabled 1 5-liter supercharged or 4 5 liter cars without Alfa Romeo compressor would win every race that entered this year in 1948, Ferrari responded to their own car, after left with Alfa before Enzo Ferrari war promised that Ferrari would not compete with their former customers for four years in 1948 also saw the death of the venerable Achille Varzi while practicing for the big Swiss Price in 1949, Alfa Romeo was forced to withdraw from the race due to financial difficulties without the Alfa the field was left open to Maserati, Ferrari and Talbot to enjoy a certa in success.
The postwar period saw the gradual return of the most famous races in Europe, including the Targa Florio, Le Mans and the Mille Miglia Mille Miglia The first took place after the war in 1947, participants were mostly Italian and certainly represented a mixed bag were it not the presence of Nuvolari and 55 leading the race at the half-point way his sports car Cisitalia open developed electrical problems when it started to rain heavily After extensive repairs, rejoined the race and worked his way to the front, but had to settle for second place with underlying health problems, he entered the grueling race again next year Ferrari driving a new sports car he soon found himself where he belonged, in the lead although Nuvolari was very ill, coughing and spitting blood, he was still able to open an incredible advance for 29 min utes over teammate driving in the only way he knew, flat on the board, he has left parts of his car throughout the Italian countrysid e Whether the way his car was built or style driving the Ferrari slowly defeated Soon the driver's seat is detached and was being replaced by a bag of oranges and still he drove on Knowing he was dying and that this could be his last chance to a victory he would not leave.
When he reached Maranello appeared shocked Enzo Ferrari, who begged him to quit, even at the cost of denying Ferrari its first victory Some thought he was on a suicide mission to die at the wheel of a race car instead in a hospital Finally, the brakes on his car failed while leading the race he had led the Ferrari as fast as he could, as long as he could and would have failed nothing on this earth could have this last great victory of his hand his race he stopped his car by the side of the road, exhausted, he was lifted from his car by a local priest and put to bed it turned out to be his last major race and five years later, he died in his small physical size bed man had the heart of a giant Those who rivaled him in the footsteps of Europe knew they would not see his likes again the Italian nation and the world sports automobil e mourned the death of the greatest driver in the world would never see.
In 1946, after World War II there were only four caliber racing GPs Rules for a Grand Championship Award world had been before the Second World War, but it took several years later until 1947 when former AIACR reorganized itself as the F ration Internationale de l'Automobile or FIA for short headquartered in Paris, France at the end of the season, 1949, he announced that for 1950 they link together several National Grand Prix to create Formula one world championship with drivers, although due to the economic difficulties of the years 1952 and 1953 were actually competed in Formula Two cars a points system was established and a total of seven races got the championship status including the Indianapolis 500 the first World Championship race was held on 13 May at Silverstone in the UK.

The Italians were again well in these first races of the World Championship, manufacturers and drivers The first World Champion was Giuseppe Farina driving an Alfa Romeo Ferrari was second in the World Championship race in Monaco and the distinction of being the only manufacturer to compete throughout the history of sport, still competing in 2004. Follow the history of the World Championship drivers link for more history after 1950.
The end of 1955 saw the withdrawal of Mercedes Grand Moss Award went by car Maserati while Fangio moved to Ferrari Driving a Ferrari based on the Lancia D50 Fangio scored several victories including the opener in Argentina and the German Grand Prix Nürburgring the title fight came down to the wire and was decided in Monza Fangio was leading in points, but Jean Behra and new boy Peter Collins still had a chance if one of them could win the race and best lap Harry Schell blasted in the head in a Connaught but soon had to take his retirement Moss took the lead and was followed by Fangio and Collins Fangio as the hope is for the worse when he suffered the failure of direction, but he was saved when Collins sacrificed his chances of title when he stopped to hand over his car to Fangio it was said at the time that Collins would think it would be other opportunities to future al ors that Fangio would soon end his legendary career, but the generosity of this act can not be overlooked Fangio finish a solid second and win his fourth world championship in 1957 started the same as the previous year with a win by Fangio Argentina, this time at the wheel of a Maserati Moss had moved to Vanwall but they were not ready for the first race Hawthorn and his friend Collins had teamed with Ferrari Monaco saw an accident that took cars Moss, Collins and Hawthorn Fangio to win easily the star of the race was Jack Brabham spawning car to the finish line and score a sixth place for the small Cooper Fangio scored another victory in Reims while Moss won a welcome victory at Aintree.
This brought the championship at the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring has been generally recognized by the Grand Prix circus that would be the last season of Fangio He was determined to finish on Hawthorn and qualified one to two and the race seemed for the epic battle Maserati Fangio started the race on half tanks and he was responsible for building a sufficient margin to enable it to pit yet retain his lead he started high do, blistering the track at a pace record, but Hawthorn and Collins Ferraris had other ideas on the twelfth round dove Fangio in the pits Even if everyone in the Maserati stand was prepared cost PitStop Fangio head when both Collins and Hawthorn thundered past Finally the work was done and Fangio returned to the fray All crimped loss Fangio was now 45 seconds behind the leading duo and few people believed that even the great Fangio Fangio could compensate this difference as one of the few he began cutting large pieces of the gap with the leaders in the panic of the Ferrari pits took with as they pleaded for their drivers to go faster Fangio said later that he drove faster than he would ever drive again the lap record collapsed and it would soon be lapping faster average speed than that with which he had described both Collins and Hawthorn have continued to run at a frantic pace Peter Lewis, the famous British journalist said that Fangio would have almost been pulling back on the end of a rope to the twentieth round fangio sliced ​​their lead eleven seconds fangio Collins took first and passed him on the inside, but the Englishman returned the favor and pushed fangio again in the third the second time fangio accosted pui s just slowly pulled away Collins was hit in the eye by a stone thrown by the rear wheel of the Maserati, but was saved by his glasses now, it was the turn of Hawthorn and Fangio still came; actually drive straight into a corner to move the force his way past Hawthorn They finished off three seconds with Collins coming in third victory gave Fangio unassailable lead in what would become his fifth and last World Championship Thus ended the biggest race of the maestro.
Green cars began to appear more frequently on the gates of Grand Prixs World BRM the first major British effort floundering, but Tony Vandervell ed a Dutch name that has left the BRM project produced its own cars using and engine developed by the venerable company, Norton motor cycles, he commissioned Colin Chapman to design a chassis built by the Cooper brothers, Charles and John Cooper had built a successful formula three successful business building cars Stirling Moss drove one of the new cars victory in the International Trophy race at Silverstone Ferrari and Maserati continue to win races by the brilliance drivers like Fangio and Hawthorn, but the tide had turned no longer be red cars of Italy dominate the sport as they 'had since the war.

The British Grand Prix 1957 saw a full complement of British Racing Green with three Vanwalls led by Moss, Brooks and Stuart Lewis-Evans; two and three Coopers MRB; one of them led by Jack Brabham Moss streaked head and drew steadily away from others that suffer from engine problems apparently done for the day on lap 26, he took the car Brooks, who was ninth in a remarkable series of failures hit the leaders, including a broken clutch, engine failure, a puncture and finally a broken throttle linkage paving the way for Moss to find the head when Moss crossed the line the crowd erupted in patriotic celebrations - a British car had won the British grand Prix with one of his son.
The 1958 season began without one of his most famous names when Maserati High decided to stop there Ferrari had a new model, the 246 Dino, their drivers Hawthorn, Collins and Luigi Musso Italian rising star had Moss Vanwall Brooks and Stuart Lewis-Evans again when Cooper caught Brabham and Roy Salvadori from this season, the cars were required to use gasoline instead of alcohol or methane would require a modification of engines and Vanwall would not be able to complete these changes in time for the Argentina opening race the grand Prix of Argentina was remarkable as Moss, driving a Cooper used a less PitStop and had to keep his tires in the final stages of the race, just crossing the line with the canvas showing the next race, Monaco has also gained Cooper this time driven by Maurice Trintignant in a race of attrition Remarquablem ent both victories were scored in a private Cooper entered by Rob Walker.
Between the first two races there was a period of four months during this Moss and Fangio period entered a race car 500 km Cuba Fangio never made it to the starting grid, after being kidnapped by Cuban rebels in support of Fidel Castro protesting the governments decision to sponsor the race despite the terrible economic conditions, it was fortunately released shortly after the end of the race won by Moss it is not known if Moss never had this kind of unwanted help.
Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort was a very British race car podium with Moss the winner in a Vanwall followed by Schell and Behra BRMS The next race, the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa was won by Tony Brooks, a style fluid pipe compliment seemed this high speed circuit wide turns the French grand Prix has seen both triumph and tragedy with Hawthorn marking the first victory for Ferrari since 1956 and the death of Luigi Musso late great Italian online succession race also marked the last race in Fangio's great career.
Peter Collins had promised at the beginning of the season that he would support his friend, Hawthorn, in his pursuit of the title.

At Silverstone Collins was good to his word when he sacrificed his own car to try to pull Moss in a duel strategy was successful and the car soon broke foam Collins won and Hawthorn buddy scored some much needed points to finish second this tragic friendship ended when Collins lost his life to chase Tony Brooks head Nurburgring Brooks won the race.
The race of the championship now a third player Tony Brooks The fight moved to Portugal Here Moss was in order, but an error by Moss and his sense of honor conspired to give his rival, the Hawthorn 6 points he needed to stay ahead of the Championship Moss misread a sign of the pit that read HAW-HAW mean REC-REG or regular missing the fact that his rival had scored a point for the lap record another incident concerns allegations whereby Hawthorn drove his car when he stopped on the course, which would have resulted in Moss disqualification came to his defense and the points were restored two years later the same fate would happen to Moss, but no one spoke in its defense, the racing world has changed.
The last race was in Morocco and has seen marked Moss fastest lap and win the race for nothing that Hawthorn would finish an easy second and become the first British world champion by a point on Moss Towards the end of the Lewis-Evens race crushed his Vanwall that ignited the driver was able to scramble without the wreck, but was not completely burned in his panic, he ran away from his would helpers Six days later, he would die of his burns retired from the hawthorn race in December only to be killed in a road accident in January of the following year.
The year was 1959 and the Grand Prix paddock was a very different place Gone Fangio Hawthorn and Collins Vanwall had decided to leave Formula 1 during the winter and Maserati, Mercedes and Alfa Romeo were only distant memories Cooper building their success in junior formula input the year engaged in a full-time program in partnership with Cooper engineer their Australian driver Jack Brabham built a car with rear engine using a May 2 liter Coventry-Climax engine the main advantages of the design was a low frontal area to improve aerodynamics and light weight of the total package T51 tipped the scales at 458 kg compared to front engine BRM time that weighed 673 kg using the Cooper-Climax engine opened a new opportunity for small teams to use the specialty engines and go racing at the highest level of the sport This development would open the po rte for future teams such as Brabham, McLaren and Surtees to name a few.

With the cancellation of the Grand Prix of Argentina the first race of the season would be Monte Carlo Brabham inherited the lead and the victory after the retirement of the first Behra in a Ferrari and Moss in the Rob Walker Cooper Zandvoort the next schedule race saw a surprise victory by Jo Bonnier BRM in a victory was the first of the big top after nine seasons Ferrari showed they were still a force to reckon with fast circuits by scoring a 1-2 in Reims with Brooks leading his team mate Phil Hill Cooper's were back in force for the great Prix at Aintree where Brabham scored his second win her young teammate Bruce McLaren would finish third behind Stirling Moss Ferrari citing strike Italian job does not enter the race the effect on the World Championship hopes his driver Tony Brooks would prove fatal the next race fl the Grand Prix of Germany, which this year would run on the Avus Circuit banked Having a horse track, Ferrari and supplied to ny Brooks with a dominant victory Moss winless so far won the Grand Prix of Portugal and still tightened the race in the World Championship between Moss and Brabham Brooks Monza saw another win for Moss with Brabham finished third and gathering again some valuable points.
There was a gap of three months from the next race, the Grand Prix of the United States, to be held at Sebring home of sports car racing to 12 pm The only chance that Moss would have the title would be to win the race and after qualifying on the pole he was doing just that unfortunately his engine would support its market share This left the door open for Brabham who quickly ran out of fuel stubbornly pushing his car to the finish line, he received fourth place and title victory went the youngest driver in history to win a grand Prix, the race 22 years New Zealander Bruce McLaren Cooper won the manufacturer's Cup beating Ferrari eight point David had defeated Goliath and the grand Prix will never be the same.
In 1960, Ferrari only major competitors used a motor car before the young Cooper driver, McLaren won the opening race in Argentine Moss in a private Lotus scored a brilliant victory in the rain, in Monaco next five races were all claimed by Brabham and was well on the way to scoring a second consecutive world championship Monza was won by Ferrari and ender season, the grand Prix of the United States, was captured by Moss Cooper again won the Constructors Cup and their pilots were 1-2 in the title race with Brabham take the crown for the second time This was the last year of formula 2 of 5 liters that had seen so much history.
The new formula for the 1961 season set a minimum car weight of 450 kg, the engine size limited to 1500cc and prohibits the use of overfeed outright The new rules were met with wide spread protest that these cars would be under voltage and losing fan interest the English teams have been most affected because they did not have a suitable motor and would be a disadvantage compared to Ferrari for the foreseeable development of a new V-8 engine Coventry-Climax is currently being execution problems and most British teams had to rely on an old four-cylinder since converted to rear engine size would have the advantage of training this year for Ferrari were two Americans Phil Hill and Richie Ginther who were joined by charismatic German Wolfgang von Trips.
Stirling Moss has been relegated to a Lotus year having been refused the last factory model yet Moss would mark the biggest win of his career in Monaco Moss RECALLS I would say, without a doubt, that was my best race that I had to lead to flat for all but about eleven of the 100 laps and I mean flat for the first few laps, I was happy with my pace, but when the others started to accelerate, I felt I had to keep the package that I would t normally go for the head so soon, but it seemed the right thing to do First Hill and Ginther tried to force their way past always the slightest mistake, but there would be no today after being pressured by three Ferrari for the entire race, it was finally the last lap and Moss was miraculously still in the lead I thought, here we go, this is where they put their foot down and take me from what I ' heard that they were given signals to give all Ferrari pits but I managed to stay ahead.
Moss took the checkered flag on June 3 seconds ahead of Ginther that followed by Hill and von Trips in the other Ferraris The Ferraris would not be arrested again Reims Even when all the factory Ferraris fall victim to mechanical problems, was won by private participant Giancarlo Baghetti, in a Ferrari that was the only victory of Moss at the Nurburgring and the death of von Trips at Monza that ruined a great season for Ferrari the championship belonged to Phil Hill Tony Brooks former student dentistry who had fought for the championship against the likes of Moss and Hawthorn and announced his retirement this gentle man was, next to Moss, the greatest British driver in the 1950s and the whims of fate deprived him as he did his friend and rival of his crown.

Ferrari rightly sensing that his cars could not maintain their domination of the British contingent, sought to sign their best driver Stirling Moss had earlier spurned the advances of the old man because of an incident that happened earlier in his career in 1951 when Enzo Ferrari offered Moss a place in his team for a run in Bari when Moss appeared for the first day of practice, he requested that one of the cars was his, and was told that 'there would be no Ferrari car had changed his mind and gave the car Piero Taruffi Moss Moss vowed that day that he would never race in one of the red cars, but feeling a desire to have a competitive car again he considered this offer View new British teams carefully grow like mushrooms Ferrari began to feel vulnerable in Moss he confided, I need your bailout ll tell me what kind of car you want and I do for you in six months Put your ideas on paper for me If you drive for me, you say Monday what you did not like the car on Sunda y and Friday will have been changed to your liking If you drive for me, I will not have a team, just you and a reserve driver with foam, I need no Moss team does not turn his back Rob Walker so he suggested that he would lead a Ferrari as a participant Rob Walker Surprisingly Ferrari agreed and a car was prepared and conscientiously painted blue Rob Walker.
Moss never drove the Ferrari as he crashed and suffered career ending injuries during the meeting at Goodwood Easter Monday Graham Graham Hill in his book, written I was leading the race comfortably, with two rounds still Stirling behind me, when he flew past on the outside of a bend Normally, Stirling would never have tried to pass someone there, and as he passed me, he was already out of the grass so without apparent reason, he just plowed right on the bank when he passed me, he seemed completely control just happened nobody will ever know - but I am absolutely sure it wasn t because of an error Moss pilot hovered near death, and when he finally awoke, he was paralyzed time on May 1, 1963, a little over a year after his accident, he returned to a deserted Goodwood and tested a race car Although he was able to turn the circuit to race near v elocity he found extremely difficult endeavor What was not natural was longer and shortly after, announced its retirem Ent The link to the past had been broken and a new generation would ride atop Their names were Clark Surtees, Gurney and Hill.
After the success of Ferrari in 1961, the story would be completely different next year as their usual Ferrari 1962 season suffered because of domestic politics that exploded in a major rebellion in the factory which has seen a stop mass work of engineers and technical staff, including chief engineer and director of the 1962 season the team would have fought with reworked 1961 cars driven primarily by Phil Hill and supported by Willy Mairesse Ricardo Rodriguez and Lorenzo Bandini Giancarlo Baghetti facing a challenge British and German strengthened the German challenge was not in the form of either Mercedes and Auto Union, Porsche but the use of a motor eight flat air-cooled, which was mounted on a much improved tubular frame they were expertly trained by American Dan Gurney and Jo Bonnier Swedish People At Lotus driver Innes Ireland was unceremoniously replaced ed by Trevor Taylor new partner Jimmy boy Colin Clark s for its new star is Chapman created the type 25 using a monocoque chassi s leading the implementation of the driver in a bath almost like structure This type of construction allowed greater rigidity and reduced weight, two of the most important aspects in BRM chassis design was Graham Hill and Richie Ginther numbers 1 and 2 respectively, while Cooper had Bruce McLaren and Tony Maggs Brabham, who left Cooper was actively preparing its own cars debut later in the season.
The opening race of the season was in Zandvoort, Netherlands Ran opened with Clark, Gurney and Graham Hill to fight for the main mechanical failures eliminate its two protagonists to leave the hill to win his first Grand Prix and only their second in BRM the next race in Monaco both Hill and Clark looked must resume their fight, but soon both of their cars would drop them Bruce McLaren continued to claim victory, followed by Phil Hill in the Ferrari great price of Belgium at Spa would remember that the site Jimmy Clark's first win since his debut in Formula 1, it was not a matter of if, but only when it would reach the top of the podium.
The French Grand Prix was held in Rouen in Normandy The first three grid positions were taken by Clark on the pole followed by Hill and McLaren Ferrari was forced to withdraw from the race and when all the leaders have suffered from problems mechanical, it was an opportunist Dan Gurney who claimed a victory girl for himself and for Porsche Then came the British grand Prix held at Aintree Ferrari could not get into a car that was driven by Phil Hill but could not climb higher than 9th place when he was forced to retire with mechanical problems the crowd saw a long-running battle between Clark and former champion John Surtees in a motorcycle Lola But after losing second gear Surtees had to settle for second place with his second victory of the season, Clark was now in a tie with Graham Hill for the championship.

The German Grand Prix at the famous Nurburgring saw Porsche determined to win the race ahead of their audience they do disappoint their fans when Dan Gurney claimed pole position 3 seconds on the BRM Graham Hill and ten seconds faster than the previous record held by Phil Hill in a Ferrari ahead of the grid was occupied by five different car manufacturers - Porsche, BRM, Lotus, Lola, and Cooper, the race had all the ingredients to become a classic drivers whose names would become legends were Gurney, Hill, Clark, Surtees and McLaren the weather was as relaxing, even the heart most ardent pilot with several minor landslides along the profile of the 14-mile track fell within 100 yards or the distance of a race car would travel in a little over a second race start was delayed for an hour to allow the flood water s ur taxiway After collapsing track of their warm-up lap cars recognition cautiously formed on the grid.
The crowds exceeding 350,000 even in the face atrocious conditions stood in silence in memory of their fallen hero Wolfgang von Tripps Then the flag fell and thundered cars away, which is anything but for Lotus Clark who stalled on the grid but miraculously was not collected by a back-marker at the end of lap Gurney silver Porsche led, to the delight of the assembled dignitaries but the second lap Graham Hill was able to clear a path overhead and it stayed this battle between the three great drivers at the top of their game with never more than 5 seconds between the first and third cars the day when the slightest mistake would be a disaster not a wheel was disturbed by this Surtees trio had spent Gurney was May 3 seconds behind the hill with the taste of victory in his mouth, he sought every opportunity to jump into the implementation sling before the leader last lap, he was more determined than ever th e day be her Just at the decisive moment when he would make his move, they came upon a lapped car and the hill was just able to reach the front line 2 5 seconds Surtees raging.
With three races remaining in the championship the turning point would come in the next race at Monza two leaders in the fight of the title were first and second on Clark grid has a head jump to the fall of the flag, but when where the cars came around the completion of the first round of the BRM Graham Hill was the third time head around the Lotus green was visible anywhere, that is if you look on the track rather than return to his stand with Clark grabbed a transmission could only watch his friend and rival hill ran a solid victory and claimed a lead in the Championship in the other Ginther BRM was able to make 1-2 for the Bourne team.
After fifteen years and many setbacks that sometimes led to public ridicule, the championship was within their reach Unfortunately for them nobody had informed the Scotsman Clark that all was lost and after a convincing victory in the US Grand Prix title will be settled in South Africa Hill, who enjoyed a nine-point lead over his rival had won the maximum points allowed in terms of its full races but Clark could still win the championship on wins and so it was that failure of a 50 cent piece of equipment ended Clark's championship hopes in east London and gave the crown to the hill Racing is all about mixed media with preparation and a little luck and nobody wanted again champion that day thirty-three, after six years of racing and only nine years of receiving their first driving license Graham Hill became the most popular champion of the year gleterre starting as a mechanic earning 1Ј a day when it reaches the supreme goal of the race, Formula 1 World Champion.
Jimmy Clark to come so close to the championship in only his second full season now knew what it would take to win the championship and came to realize that his time would come sooner than later Lotus 25 was virtually unchanged from the previous year carefully to make it more reliable Its Climax V8 engine has been refined to give it increased driveability They more than anyone else was always ready for the new season to start.

Porsche, despite marking their first win chose to withdraw from Formula 1 John Surtees was signed to drive for Ferrari while Gurney moved to Brabham The first race of the season was again held in Monaco Despite quick starts by Hill and BRM and teammate Ginther, Clark was soon in the lead After temporarily leaving second place to Surtees, Hill was leading at the first Surtees had to pit to change his glasses and turn Clark Gasworks due to gearbox stuck and having to retire the next race at Spa was a demonstration of superiority Clark when he licked the field under torrential rain Zandvoort saw another victory by Clark a lap ahead of his nearest rival is Clark a hat-trick at the french grand Prix in Reims and four in a row at Brands Hatch Surtees was finally able to create a momentary pause Clark steam roller with a well-deserved victory at the Nurburgring it was Surtees first victory of his career four-wheel drive.
Monza for Ferrari and BRM had a new monocoque chassis Ferrari Surtees stormed into the lead but suffered a broken valve spring Clark took the lead but was strongly opposed by both Hill and Gurney after his two challengers suffered mechanical problems and was forced to withdraw Clark was able to coast to another victory that allowed him to win the world championship with three races remaining in the last three Clark races could win two giving seven victories in ten races.
1964 seemed to be another year of battle between Clark and Hill, but there were stirrings at Ferrari they once again a force to reckon But for drivers of red cars there would always be another hurdle At Surtees says Ferrari in those days you started with disabilities Until Mans was on you couldn t really work you want to do and needed to Formula the first race was again in Monaco where Clark finds himself in pole position and shortly out of the race Graham Hill drove his teammate Ginther BRM for Clark won 1-2 finish while the next two races at Zandvoort and Spa the french grand Prix saw Clark joined by Surtees on first line but the race was won by Dan Gurney now driving for Brabham with hill picking second largest Prix again Clark on the po cake but this time joined by Hill They would finish the race in the same order Surtees said that while his Ferrari was getting more and more competitive, he could not let the duo of Clark and the hill not too far Nurburgring before would be his turning point back at his favorite circuit and the scene of his first victory scored only last year, Surtees responded by capturing pole position in the race Clark jumped in the head as suffering from mechanical problems that the forced him to withdraw Surtees took a lead he would not relinquish Wining the hardest race on the calendar two consecutive years have proven that belonged Surtees first among drivers during the first part of his career.
A Zeltweg, Austria three championship leaders were in the front row of the grid and all three failed to finish with victory going Surtees teammate Lorenzo Bandini This would unfortunately only Italian popular victory of his short career Monza belonged to Surtees and Ferrari then they celebrated a popular victory with their things tight when Tifosi Hill won the next race at Watkins Glen and unlike last year, the title will be won or lost at the last race the final race in Mexico saw Hill leads with 39 points, Surtees with 34 points and Clark with 30 points early in the Clark race led out of his pole position, but both Hill and Surtees were slow off the mark and found themselves 10 13 respectively the race progressed Hill was able to move up to third with Surtees now fifth all Hill had to fa ire was to stay out of trouble, but unfortunately the difficulty was right behind him Bandini driving for all he was worth watching for any opportunity to the hill and thought he had found when Hill momentarily left the door open Bandini dove to the inside, but too late, leaving the hill nowhere to go but into the guardrail Hill was able to return to the race, but only after losing two laps after Clark took his retired with a seized engine was Bandini who allowed his Surtees teammate pass him in second place and Surtees World Championship could now add a title for four-wheel drive seven titles on two wheels.
For the last year of 1 1 2 liter Formula both Lotus and Brabham had at their disposal a Coventry Climax V8 32 Lotus Valve also has a new type 33 car monocoque Brabham stuck with the tubular chassis felt disappointed last losing years Championship despite winning the most races, Clark and Chapman were more than ever that 1965 would be different had his new Ferrari engine cylinder 12 flat available in case of need to defend their championship Unfortunately for the Italian team this engine proved to be a step back added to this mixture was the car Honda grand Prix now in their second season and being driven by American Richie Ginther and Ronnie Bucknum their V12 transverse mounted engine would soon become the class MRO field added a Scotsman their clean, bright Jackie Stewart rookie Graham Hill Cooper partner was no longer an equation frontline ipe their drivers Bruce McLaren and newcomer Jochen Rindt were both able to cause some discomfort to the leading teams.

Thus the year began with South Africa as the first race The race was dominated by Clark in his Lotus that was followed by Surtees and Hill Monaco was next and the race was held without Clark, Indianapolis was classic win this year in a Lotus Type 38 driven by an American Ford engine under a partnership with the American giant would have enormous consequences for Formula 1 in the near future the race was won by his rival Clark Graham Hill in a BRM Hill victory in Monaco was his third in a row.
Clark returned to Spa and won in the wet before the sensation of the year, Stewart Clark and Jackie Stewart repeated their results at the French Grand Prix Grand Prix and the Dutch and German fell to Clark all-out assault on the record books with only the first six races counting Clark claimed a perfect score and his second world championship when his Lotus suffered a mechanical failure or was missing was there hope for others, such was its domination a broken fuel pump allowed Stewart a victory in his first season and engine failure allowed hill to come through Clark is head and shoulders above all others, a natural talent that has not and can not never be duplicated last race of the season took place at the Autodromo in Mexico City Magdalena Mixhuca always a problem for teams because of the high altitude of the circuit, there are t turned out to be an advantage for Honda and they Rinchie Ginther claimed their first significant victory this was also the maide Goodyear victory n.
The 1966 season would be the first under the new formula of 3 liters and as always at the beginning of a new formula results would go to more resourceful The stampede was for British teams for new power plants for the new season Cooper bought their engines Maserati as Rob Walker Bruce McLaren left Cooper to create his own team and adapted Ford V8s originally scheduled for Indianapolis Ferrari would have a new V12 while Lotus and BRM, left without an engine supplier after the withdrawal of Coventry, were forced to settle modification Climax and BRM V8 engine bored out to 2 liters respectively Dan Gurney Brabham left to his own team, All-American Racers Brabham as usual is going its own way controlled Repco, a parts manufacturer from Australia, to produce a new V8 Following the guidelines set by the Brabham engine was robust, lightweight compact to replace Gurney, Brabham Denny Hulme promoted to number two.
Monaco was the scene for the first race of the new formula and saw Clark on the pole The race was won by Stewart that was followed over the line by Surtees The next race in Spa was marred by wet conditions that caused eight cars leave the track including a serious accident Stewart who found trapped in his car Fortunately his injuries were minor and the race was won by Surtees after fighting off load by Rindt's Cooper-Maserati in the Surtees area looked like a challenger for the title that year to succumb to infighting to Ferrari that led to his departure from the team Surtees later regret leaving the Italian team Brabham, after early season problems is came to its own in the middle races, scoring victories in Reims, Brands Hatch, Zandvoort and the Nurburgring Monza saw a fluke victory by ed Ferrari team and Ludovico Scarfiotti because of the failure by one of her challengers to garner important points, Brabham won his third title Clark return to victory at Watkins Glen the season goes near Surtees, now driving Cooper inaugural season of the new formula was won by Brabham more than the result of solid engineering rather than technical brilliance.
Lotus struggled in 1966, but for the coming year, they were able to convince Ford to invest in a new engine, built by the British company Cosworth, which would come to dominate Formula 1 In the first tests with the new engine Clark additional required bracing behind his seat to support his head under acceleration If that was not enough Chapman signed former world champion Graham Hill Clark partner in a new super team BRM Hill had been with for seven years and in his own words felt it was better to move in case they painted me Stewart became the number one in BRM joined at different points of the season by Mike Spence, Richard Attwood, Chris Irwin and Piers Courage Ferrari would the New Zealander Chris Amon Bandini join full time Rindt was joined by Pedro Rodriguez in Cooper Brabham continued with himself and Denny Hulme to the Honda was driving étonnammen Surtees t persuade to join their UK based team now must remember that at this stage in his career Surtees was on the top floor of drivers and Clark, Hill and Stewart.
The season is open at Kyalami, South Africa The sensation of the race was privateer John Love who had to give up the lead after a late stop for the winner of the Rodriguez race fuel in a Cooper The next race in Monaco would be tragically remember that the race that the popular Italian star living Lorenzo Bandini as he began to make his mark race was won by Hulme, before Hill and Amon Zandvoort the next race mark the beginning of the Lotus 49 Ford-Cosworth Graham Hill won the pole position but the race was one by Clark Spa saw the hill retire and Clark having to stop a dirty cap Dan Gurney drove the beautiful but often unreliable Eagle-Weslake in its sole and only victory of the french grand Prix was held at the Bugatti circuit at Le Mans two Lotuses were forced to retire after leading the race with broken transmissions leaving the v ICTORY to Brabham which was followed in turn by its Hulme teammate after leading much of the race at Silverstone, Hill suffered a WN engine blo but victory this time went to Clark It was his fifth British victory great Price Nurburgring saw both Lotus fail with failures suspension Brabham and Hulme led to a one to two.

Canada hosted its first Grand Prix and Lotus again suffered mechanical problems and the Brabham team scored another double but this time the roles were reversed and Brabham took the checkered flag Surtees believes that drastic changes must be do chose not to enter the race, but instead of pointing to Monza in five weeks, he had a new car built with the help of Eric Broadley a long running battle Surtees beat Brabham on the line in Monza with his new Honda lighter which should come in the history of grand Prix as the most remarkable achievements Italian fans this great feat realized Surtees showered with deafening cheers from Il grande Gianni Lotus all disappointed by their lack of results could turn to the future who came to Watkins Glen.
Clark Hill and easily dominated the practice and were so confident that if is over, the victory would be in the cards before the race they return a coin and Hill won if they both finished, he would be the winner during the hill led Clark race, but began to develop mechanical problems Fearing that one of their rivals could sneak by and claim what was due to them Clark spent the hill top and Hill win was able to limp on the second place and after Clark race rush to offer his apologies to pass his friend was all right with Lotus as they scored an important one to two before all Ford Clark brass won again in Mexico, but Hulme with third place claimed the World Championship pilot largely underestimated, he disdained self-promotion and allowed his conduct to his talk.
The 1968 season had barely begun before it was shaken to its foundations by the death of its biggest star, Jimmy Clark in a Formula 2 race Minor ed The circumstances surrounding Clark's death has already been covered in great depth If the reader wants more information, recent book Jim Clark Eric Dymock - Tribute to a champion is an excellent source Clark won the first game of the season on Graham Hill in South Africa the Ford-Cosworth DFV V8 that had shown so promised last year would come to dominate Formula 1 for the next 14 years, but the biggest change would come from another source, the tobacco industry, the introduction of tobacco sponsorship would have consequences which are still felt to this day the insular world of Formula 1 racing and the grand Prix will never be the same.
In 1967, two major suppliers of oil, BP and Esso, retires from Formula 1 and Firestone, the US tire manufacturer does not provide more free tires Small British teams were put under enormous financial pressure and asked the CSI to change their longstanding policy restricting advertising on racing cars of the Monaco grand Prix, Lotus would not be painted green, but would now display the gold leaf tobacco colors and would therefore be on known as team Lotus Gold Leaf the influence of this new foreign currency would in time change the balance of power and spell the end of privateers A new type of driver, with their own private funding, would able to make the leap to the pinnacle of motorsport on some teams the second seat would become just another source of revenue Louis Stanley later noticed that one to s biggest regrets was presenting Marlboro Formula 1.

The other important part of the sport was the use of aerodynamic devices as wings inverted The first of them were incredibly tinny contraptions that were more of a danger to their drivers the wing competition was Matra adjustable and was powered by a small electric motor that has been operated by pulses of the break pedal the next schedule race was the grand Prix of Spain and team Lotus still devastated by the death of her first driver saw his teammate Graham Hill garner the checkered flag Monaco, the next race again belonged to Hill.
The race was a war of attrition and the fourth win in the principality Matra Hill provided two teams in Formula 1 official team led by Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Tyrrell team led by Jackie Stewart Stewart Belgium took the lead fuel not miss giving the race a surprise McLaren to drive one of his own cars Stewart would not be denied in the next race, the grand Prix of Holland, where he was followed by Beltoise Matra work for the french grand Prix Lotus used the 49B had a rear wing mounted directly on top of the suspension that offered greater efficiency Honda has brought a brand new car, the RA302 guy who used a V8 air cooled motor former champion John Surtees world was expected to drive the car, but sustained because he considered the dangerous new car the car was given to newcomer Jo Schlesser who tragically suffered a fatal accident in the third round of the race running in the pouring rain was won by Jackie Ickx in a Ferrari 312.
The race at Brands Hatch saw more cars rear wing sports except BRM and Cooper The Lotuses Hill and Jackie Oliver looked to dominate the race, alternating the early lead before the two had to abandon due to failures another mechanical Lotus, it is entered by Rob Walker and driven by Jo Siffert won the race after a thrilling duel with long time to honor Chris Amon lady.
The next race, the German Grand Prix was run in atrocious conditions with great reluctance drivers to drive in that no more than Jackie Stewart was to be commanded by Ken Tyrrell to start the race Irony of fate many consider more later that its actually the biggest race, it was more like two races, one that Stewart was driving and one that contained all the other nursing a broken wrist suffered in a Formula two race he started the race from the sixth when the flag dropped he began his charge to the front in shock in the other cars and at the end of the first lap he was 8 seconds ahead after the second round, it was over 30 Behind him in second head Graham Hill and Chris Amon struggled to maintain this blistering pace Many other cars spun whose eventual second place finisher Hill.

The flag of Stewart's margin of victory was almost four minutes giving him enough time to get out of his car to accept the congratulations before Lotus Hill crossed the line of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza slipstreaming is another wild affair with head changing no less than 16 times Denis Hulme in a McLaren rear wing free-Ford was the ultimate winner of the world championship was wide open with one of four drivers, Hill, Ickx, Stewart and Hulme able to take price the next race in Canada, saw the end of any title hopes Jacky Ickx when he crashed his Ferrari and broke his Hulme leg continued his charge late in the season and won his second consecutive race Watkins Glen was next and saw Jackie Stewart take the price that left more season in Mexico to decide the title.
Jo Siffert dominated the first part of the race than to suffer mechanical problems that cost him two laps, the winner and now double World Champion was teammate Clarks Graham Hill Conveniently Lotus also won the title of the manufacturer at the end of the season the team that more or less started the rear engine domination of Formula one and has helped many a future star learned his craft was forced to leave Cooper, who made a name for himself with his 500cc Formula Cooper Three -JAP, could not the funds to participate in the sport more and more.
If 1967 marked the introduction of Cosworth 1969 marked his total domination of Formula 1 now available for the whole team, the Cosworth V8 was in the back of cars Matra, McLaren, Brabham and Lotus Engine continue to supply all the winner in 1969.
The Matra entered by Ken Tyrrell and driven by Jackie Stewart won the first game of the season, the Grand Prix of South Africa Stewart also won the next race in Spain while Lotus 49s of Hill and Rindt both chess wing sustained the ruling organization has taken action and banned the large movable wings for the grand Prix of Holland before the race came the Monte Carlo grand Prix and the fifth and final victory on the famous circuit for the grand Prix Graham Hill Dutch arrived and all now used low wings cars permanently mounted.
The race was also notable for the appearance of two-wheel drive cars, the Matra MS84 and Lotus 63 teams were scrambling to find ways to transfer the torque generated by the ever more powerful engines 3 liters on the road The Lotus wedge 63 was developed by Maurice Phillippe and resembled in appearance at least, created by Lotus cars for the Indianapolis 500 Matra car was more classical in appearance but was compromised by his Cosworth chassis space also had developed a car four-wheel drive that was intended to compete under the Ford banner until the company decided to withdraw its support, unfortunately, he never ran.

The four-wheel drives fatal began in front differential on the corners of the right hand would be borne mainly on the left front tire with virtually no load on the inside This caused the clutch to turn wildly on tight corners and resulted in the understeer Cosworth terminal on a limited-slip differential has been held at the front, but this proved tremendously heavy for fractionation of driving torque was tried with 25 to 40 to the front this alleviated some of the problems, but gave rise to minimize any advantage the four wheel drive layout makes most drivers found no discernible benefit to offset side effects Rindt who had claimed pole position naturally refused even bother with the Lotus 63, but the hill after qualifying 49B took another drive 4WD car and recorded a time of 1 March 28 was of 7 1 Place 2 seconds in the pace of Stewart MS84 Matra could better that time by registering a 26 January 68 but took all the considerable talent that he had no car ally news entered the race as each would require additional development.
After early lead Rindt from pole, he was overtaken by Stewart won his third race of the year, followed by Jo Siffert in a private Lotus and Chris Amon in the Ferrari for the French Grand Lotus named Price John again driving 63 miles driver only to see retire in the second round because of a broken fuel pump Stewart repeated again in France for the British grand Prix contingent four-wheel drive was joined by McLaren their M9A, but again none of them have finished in the points and the race was won by Stewart driving a borrowed car Mario Andretti drove the Lotus 63 at the grand Prix of Germany and actually set up sometimes respectable, although he has never been to the Nurburgring before Unfortunately, the race was another case which saw leaving the show floor of the victory of Stewart fina LEMENT been broken at the Nurburgring with Jacky Ickx at the wheel of a Brabham-Ford to victory only to see Stewart again the winner circle at Monza.
Surprisingly Stewart showed he was as human as he left the track in Canada by giving the victory to Ickx which was followed over the line by his boss Jack Brabham Jochen Rindt finally tasted victory in America at Watkins Glen but the race was marked by a serious accident that broke both legs of his teammate Graham Hill the last race of the season was in Mexico, but the victory of Denis Hulme did little to change the outcome of the Championship world Jackie Stewart said that everyone knew a day would be his to 63 points he was ahead of his closest rival Jacky Ickx 37 cars four-wheel drive were slowly abandoned by all manufacturers except for Lotus which continued working on their car, their best result being Rindt second place at Oulton Park in 1971, Lotus has their drive turbine to drive four-wheel drive and during the Rain largest Dutch Prize this year, he began to make noise Driven by novice David Walker, as conditions worsened, he began to remove his ri vals one by one delay and accident later that Colin race Chapman notice later that this was a race that should and could have won by a four-wheel drive.
1970 saw the debut of a number of new talented drivers in Formula 1 led by Ronnie Peterson this group include François Cevert, Clay Regazzoni, Henri Pescarolo and future world champion Emerson Fittipaldi The year was tragic that saw Bruce's death mclaren, Piers Courage and Jochen Rindt incredibly almost on the eve of his first world championship was awarded posthumously another sensation in 1970 was the new Lotus-Ford 72.
This was the last driver of Jack Brabham season when he would retire at the end of the year to show younger drivers that there was still some light in the old man, he won the first race of the season in South Africa braking three-year drought Jarma, the current world champion Jackie Stewart won the first race of the new car engineering in March this British team founded by Max Mosley, Alan Rees, Graham Coaker and Robin Herd prepared their own team cars as well as providing cars for Tyrrell Having the World Champion to drive one of their cars while for another team, was a blow to the new company Unfortunately resources team were thin and taut car was overshadowed by the new Lotus.
Chris Amon joined the team with the understanding they just slowly begin fielding a car Imagine his surprise first to find four other cars like his on the grid Monaco proved to be the biggest race of the year when Jochen Rindt Brabham spent on the last corner of the race the race like Brabham had in the bag, but some problems and traffic minor mechanical lapped Rindt was the opening he needed the sight of the old Lotus 49, the 72 was still not ready to be thrown into the crowded city tour was not soon forgotten by those who have had the chance to attend the event younger readers US thing should be recalled that the race was shown on ABC television in the days in the Wide World of sports in fact it was just a telecast eight years ago this writer who got interested in the sport over the next e was Spa, and another fantastic race took place, this time between the BRM of Pedro Rodriguez and Chris Amon March.

Rodriguez was able to hold off a determined Amon Zandvoort was next and the Lotus 72 without anti-dive won a convincing victory from the Holland sand dunes with Rindt at the wheel There were no celebrations on the dark podium the race was marred by the death of the famous Piers Courage in a de Tomaso that started a run of four straight wins with the French GP, British and German of these, it should be noted that the British GP was a gift victory when Brabham ran out of gas while the head of the British grand Prix also saw the debut of a young Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi in a Lotus 49C finishing in 8th place Zeltweg was the next step in the championship and local crowd was ready to celebrate their first world champion, but were disappointed when Rindt has not finished out of the race in a Ferrari with the 1-2 Ickx eader Regazzoni.
The championship moved to Monza home of Ferrari and the unthinkable happened when Jochen Rindt was killed during the second free practice session Several investigations have been conducted, but with conflicting results in the end it was well a brake shaft not seem momentarily went on the World Championship as Ferrari have won not win by Jacky Ickx but with teammate Clay Regazzoni in his fifth start there was some consideration would be if Rindt awarded the title if no other driver has exceeded his total points Fortunately, this was the case when Emerson Fittipaldi won the largest US Price with a new third finish Wisell Lotus driver won his fourth Cup manufacturers, but in very sad circumstances.
After a season-ending race many felt that Ferrari would be the class of the field in 1971, Ferrari must have felt that way as they attempted to sign Jackie Stewart for the upcoming season, but Stewart decides to stay with Tyrrell Derick Gardner had designed a new car for Stewart to drive and coupled with the engine of series 2 Cosworth team was ready to go into the new season as the builder Jack Brabham had retired at the end of last season and team is now headed by Ron Tauranac defending champions, Lotus, suffered one of their periodic years that many of their resources has been supported in their efforts to build a competitive turbine car McLaren has lost its founder during a testing accident had a new car designed by Ralph Bellamy, the McLaren M19A with Denis Hulme now the Ferrari team leader unable to sign Stew Art turned to American Mario Andretti in March reeling from their disappointing first season turned to Robin Herd and Frank Costin their car sported an oval airfoi the mounted over his nose and was nicknamed the coffee table or tea .
The first race of the championship was the Grand Prix of South Africa with Andretti taking the lead Hulme and scoring his first Grand Prix victory Matra is presented to the race with a large air scoop on top of the engine, a feature that would become universal to date Stewart won both races in Spain and Monaco in Ickx won big wet Dutch Stewart Price returned to his winning ways with victories in France, Britain and Germany the channel finally broken by Jo Siffert in a BRM in Zeltweg, Austria further up the grid in March was a pilot of Formula 2 local by the name of Niki Lauda.

The Italian Grand Prix at Monza attended the closest race in history it is hard to imagine these days, but the Monza circuit used to host huge Slipstreaming duels which in 1971 was the bigger.
Clay Regazzoni Ferrari slammed the top of the fourth line, but in the fourth round, it was passed in turn by Peterson, Stewart and Jo Siffert Stewart and Peterson would exchange the head for the next two rounds Resembling not so much a Grand fare ride but a US stock car race, all that was missing was the fender bending the group head composed of no less than 12 race cars flat nose to tail, but soon the murderous pace began to take its two effects were as Ferraris and Stewart s Tyrrell Mike Hailwood, the champion motorcycle, was now leading its 17th position from the Chris Amon race decided to make his move and went from fourth to first in a tower with ten -eight to go with seven laps to go, he accidentally tore his visor and had to drop the leading group now consisted of four cars, Peters we, Cevert, Hailwood and Gethin.
Entering the last lap Peterson was in the lead, but was passed by Lesmo Cevert entering Peterson took it in stride, as he intended to take the lead at Parabolica where he had an advantage over the French that he felt his biggest challenger Just as he was lined up to make his move, he saw the side of an eye a series of blur by blurring out to be Peter Gethin passing on the grass and seemingly out of control Fearful both Peterson and Cevert reluctant Gethin with all four wheels locked and smoking furiously could regain control and cross the finish line 01 0 sec from Peterson ultimately 0.61 seconds covered the first five cars the rest of the season proved anti-climatic as Stewart and his team mate Cevert exchanged victories in Canada and the United States sixty-two points respectively Stewart was an easy winner s ur second place Peterson in the March on a final note Jo Siffert tragically lost his life in a non-championship event at Br ands Hatch which replaced the Mexican Grand Prix canceled.
The 1972 season seemed to be a repeat of last year that was dominated by Jackie Stewart Tyrrell and Ferrari had experienced Ickx ably joined by Regazzoni and American Mario Andretti as his schedule would allow Lotus without Jochen Rindt and led by a 25 years Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi was not considered a major player now called John Promotions challenger after the cigarette brand, they were painted in a black and gold superb another large tobacco company, Phillip Morris paid a large sum BRM in which would now be called Marlboro -BRM Unlike the gentlemen drivers from the past sport has seen the rise of paid driver who would buy his seat in a team with money personal sponsorships.
Niki Lauda cases it was through a bank loan and the Austrian bank, he joined Peterson Mars The Brabham team was bought by Bernie Ecclestone then a wealthy businessman in London, now a man of business London rich McLaren led by Denis Hulme was joined by Peter Revson the rest of the grid was completed by a diverse group of teams, which will eventually become the world by defeating Williams grand Prix, others long forgotten the middle of a tire war between Goodyear and Firestone, the use of special qualifying tires are generalized Lasting only three to four rounds they would eventually be joined by qualifying engine.
The first race of the season the championship was the restoration of the Argentine Grand Prix which saw a sensational performance by a local driver name Carlos Reutemann Driving a Brabham, he came out of nowhere to win the pole position for the race but was won by Jackie Stewart, from where he had left last year was the next race in South Africa and again Stewart led, but on lap 45 he suffered transmission problems and the race was won by Denis Hulme in mclaren the tour moved to Europe and now the grand Prix of Spain, which was won by Emerson Fittipaldi Monaco was executed under a huge rain with rotating cars in all directions Jean-Pierre Beltoise in a BRM, teach the field a driving lesson in wet weather, leading from start to finish to score his first and only victory of the championship Stewart suffering from severe stomach ulcer had to miss the next race, the Grand Prix of Belgium, which was won by Fittipaldi on a new track near Nivelles.

Stewart was back for the next race, the French Grand Prix that he won after the leader of the race Chris Amon victim of a late race puncture Fittipaldi came second The order was reversed in the next race England with Fittipaldi leader Stewart.
Lotus appeared to be in a transition state was now leading the championship with Ferrari Fittipaldi after many disappointments was finally able to win a race and made better when they finished 1-2 at the Nurburgring with Ickx leading Regazzoni Fittipaldi his lead for the title by winning the grand Prix of Austria and won at Monza Stewart has won the last two races of the season, but the world Championship went to Fittipaldi while Lotus has collected Fittipaldi Cup became the world champion the youngest of the manufacturer in history and would double the score two years later.
The year 1973 marked the retirement of Jackie Stewart, but before it did, he would win five more races for Tyrrell and his third world championship of the season was dominated by three drivers - Stewart and Lotus teammates Emerson Fittipaldi Matra and Ronnie Peterson was no longer in Formula 1, BRM was in agony and Ferrari was in turmoil Ralph Bellamy left McLaren to join Lotus and substitute Maurice Phillippe recently left McLaren Gordon Coppuck designed the new wedge-shaped M23 that would be the backbone of McLaren for the years following four odd Brabham had a young designer's own Gordon Murray was to become one of the greatest designers in the entire Formula 1 As every year, there were some many Cinderella teams such as shade and teaches.
The Championship season began with a shock when Clay Regazzoni, formerly with Ferrari scored the last pole for BRM in the Argentine Grand Prix The race was won by Fittipaldi followed Tyrrells of Cevert and Stewart Grand Prix of Brazil held for the first time and was won by native son Fittipaldi After both races Latin American championship moved to South Africa, which hosted the debut of the new McLaren M23 at the right time as the car was quickly placed at the post by Denis Hulme Unfortunately for McLaren their lead lasted just four laps when Hulme was exceeded by a local guy Jody Scheckter Two laps later, he in turn was passed by eventual winner Jackie Stewart Fittipaldi returned the winner's circle at the next race in Spain and after four races he held a lead for Brazil Unfortunately this was to be his for ernière victory for Lotus largest Belgian GP race in Zolder, saw a Tyrrell 1-2 with Stewart leading Cevert Stewart won again at Monaco w hich saw the debut of a young Englishman by the name of James Hunt to drive the Hesketh team of Lord Hesketh.

The next race was the Grand Prix of Sweden in Anderstorp and here Denis Hulme the first win for the new McLaren Lotus won the next race in France, but this time was teammate Fittipaldi Peterson who took the flag British Grand Prix after a re- start after a car pileup was won by Hulme's teammate, American Peter Revson the championship has now seen five different winners, but in Zandvoort results saw another Tyrrell 1- 2 with Stewart winning a race marked by the death of the Englishman Roger Williamson Nurburgring saw the same Tyrrell 1-2, but the sensation of the race was the lap record posted by Carlos Pace in Pace Surtees repeated this feat in Austria was won by Peter Revson Peterson scored his second and last victory in Canada under adverse weather conditions there was a dispute between independent observers if the second Fittipaldi finishing place had actually won the United States Grand Prix was won by Ronnie Peterson, but it was Stewart who CLIN ched his third and last world championship should have been a Tyrrell feast was marred by the tragic death of teammate Stewart François Cevert during practice that Stewart had decided to retire at the end of the season would not start the race would have been his last.
After a disastrous season Ferrari decided to leave sports car racing and focus on Formula 1 Ferrari 312B which was redesigned last season by Mauro Forghieri would show immediate results of the renewed interest of the Italian factory Clay Regazzoni returned from his unlucky year for BRM and came to him the Austrian Niki Lauda Many who knew only as Lauda paid driver were surprised by his selection by the Prancing horse, but it would soon show that he belonged at the top.
Lauda would bring new blood and Ferrari and the promotion of a young lawyer, Luca di Montezemolo, head of the team of Ferrari F1 fortunes improve Ironically, it was Regazzoni that was first considered the main driver Lauda soon put to work After taking home the Grand Canal Hotel in Modena, he spent endless testing days and work with the engineers and mechanics to improve the performance of the Ferrari 312B3 main rivals Ferrari would be the McLaren M23s of Emerson Fittipaldi and Denny Hulme, Ronnie Peterson Lotus, Brabham led by Carlos Reutemann and Tyrell south African Jody Scheckter McLaren drew first blood in Argentina in the hand of Denny Hulme Moving to Brazil this was the turn of his teammate Fittipaldi as he struggled against Ronnie Peterson before a puncture ended the challenge to drive Swedish Although McLaren took the first two races, it was obvious to all that the Ferraris of Lauda and Regazzoni would soon heard Meanwhile Brabham showed they could not be counted when Carlos Reutemann won in South Africa Jarma, Spain Ferrari was back on top with Niki Lauda taking the next victory came the Belgian Grand Prix, the race of the year in Nivelles, which was claimed by Fittipaldi, Monaco which went to Peterson and Sweden which was won by Scheckter race for the championship was now wide open but it was the reliability of McLaren and Fittipaldi that would see them soon by Lauda and Regazzoni scored a strong 1-2 in the grand Prix of Holland and Scheckter returned to the winner's circle at Brands Hatch Regazzoni was victorious in Nurburgring Lauda then could not finish the first round when he made an uncharacteristic error Reutemann became a double winner at the announcement Цsterreich ring Peterson did in Monza the championship moved to North America and Fittipaldi became the first triple winner of the title race is now a link between Fittipaldi and Regazzoni but crazy place RTH in Watkins Glen, the race being won by Reutemann the Brazilian became a world champion twice that Regazzoni could not keep pace due to mechanical problems McLaren also won the constructors championship, but Ferrari served notice that they would be a powerful force in the years to come up.
In 1975, Ferrari has taken the next step to Formula 1 after 11 years, the Constructors Championship and the world title driving was returned to them courtesy of an Austrian pilot who had to buy its way into Formula 1 Niki Lauda won five races to defeat last year's champion Emerson Fittipaldi season began with a surprise when Jean-Pierre Jarier in a shadow started the grand Prix from pole position race played more to form with Fittipaldi assuming the lead from the Hesketh of Hunt and went on to victory If once wasn t enough Jarier again started from pole in Brazil to watch local star Carlos Pace score a well received victory at the grand Prix of South Africa has replaced the Ferrari 312B3 with the 312T T for the gearbox mounted transversely Carlos Reutemann took place in measure of his Brabham on the front row, but again the race was r away by a native son, Jody Scheckter in a Tyrrell Montjuich in Spain the two Ferraris started from the front row but the race turned to traged there when the rear wing broke on the car loses the race leaders causing accident that killed several spectators the race was soon stopped and Jochen Mass was declared the winner when he was received half points for his victory.
Lauda then took over and won four of the next five races, including Monaco, Zolder, Anderstorp and Paul Richard Only hunting victory in the Netherlands halted Lauda race for the Silverstone championship saw a wasted race fall won by Emerson Fittipaldi Reutemann scored a victory in Germany but tragedy struck again in Austria when American ace Mark Donahue suffered fatal injuries when practicing the shortened rain race was won by Vittorio Brambilla in March with a third place at Monza Lauda won his first world championship while teammate scored his first win of the year the ender of the season at Watkins Glen saw Lauda celebrate his title with another win in November Graham Hill, who had retired more earlier this year after a legendary career was killed in a plane crash along with other members of his team, including driver Prome tteur Tony Brise to the hill retreat and death came the end of an era.

The following year, 1976 started with a few surprises The racing season was expanded to sixteen races twice world champion Emerson Fittipaldi left McLaren and joined his brother at Copersucar James Hunt who was without a drive when Lord Hesketh decided to withdraw from Formula 1 was hired to replace the Brazilian remmnents the Hesketh team was purchased by Frank Williams who with his partner, millionaire Austro-Canadian oil Walter Wolf would contest the new season technically Tyrell produced a car with six wheels, the P34 with four small wheel drive while Brabham was now powered by Alfa Romeo Lotus engines still struggling with their type 77 Ickx had left to join Wolf-Williams and his seat was taken by Mario Andretti.
The first two races, Brazil and South Africa were both won by Lauda for Ferrari, the Grand South Africa Price did see James Hunt from pole position Peterson fed up with Lotus, and its relationship Chapman leave with deteriorating again join March a second US Grand Prix was added to run on the streets of long Beach, California This race was dominated by Clay Regazzoni who started from pole position and won a popular victory Spain, Ferrari debuted their 312T2 and looked like the winner of the race when Hunt was disqualified only be restored Lauda won in Monaco and Belgium the largest Prix of Sweden proved to be the high water mark for him when Jody Scheckter Tyrrell six-wheeler drove his teammate, Depailler the checkered flag Hunt responded with another win at french grand Prix, but at Brands Hatch, with Hunt again was disqualified after a first lap melee that saw the race restarted This time, the results stood and Lauda increased from the second to the first battle between the two drivers have become the talk of the paddock Each leads to win but with completely different personalities Chase the nonconformist playboy who was known as Hunt shunt in his earlier days and Lauda the serious strategist the only thing they seemed to have been in common their speed.
The season moved to Germany and the Nurburgring Hunt prohibition qualified in pole position, but Niki Lauda was right beside him on the front row of the crowd was set for what appeared to be a fantastic battle between the two main rivals for Lauda championship always held a significant lead but Hunt approached strong on the second lap Lauda's Ferrari spun on the track and hit the barriers at over 150 miles per hour Ferrari caught fire and was hit by a following car Several pilots arrived at the scene and managed to pull their colleague from the car hit Lauda had somehow lost his helmet when the car overturned and suffered severe burns to his head, face, arms and hands while his lungs were also severely damaged helicopter to the hospital, he received the last rites by a Catholic priest Surprisingly he fought to re turn from his wounds, his face permanently scarred, and participated in the Grand Prix of Italy 6 weeks later, James Hunt won the Grand Prix of Germany.
While Lauda recovered Ulsterman John Watson scored a big victory in the Austrian Grand Prix in Osterreichring and fought wheel to wheel duel with James Hunt at Zandvoort before succumbing to gearbox trouble Lauda continued with a win Lauda to win on the slow September came to this long season and it meant Monza and the Italian grand Prix Hunt must have felt it was a race against a ghost when Lauda climbed back into his Ferrari so that extra pressure made him spin out of the race is not known, but Lauda was able to finish a courageous fourth and gain some valuable points race was won by Ronnie Peterson in a Hunt in March rebounded with wins in Canada and Watkins Glen prepare the ground for the final shootout in Japan Hunt qualified on the front row, but was beaten to the pole by Mario Andretti who through hard work and talent brought Lotus back to the sharp end of the grid the race was run in monsoon conditions again the display Lauda hi s own brand of courage which he has been unfairly criticized and removed after two rounds would Lauda rightly claim that his life was more important than the World Championship Now Hunt had to do was finish third or more to claim the title Hunt was in the lead when he had to slow down due to the difficulty of tires and was adopted by Depailler and Andretti Andretti driving the race of his past life soon Tyrrell and assumed leadership Hunt pitted on the 68th lap and returned to the race in fifth with four laps to go all seemed lost until Regazzoni and Jones 2nd and 3rd respectively, suffered tire problems and Hunt was given third place and four points needed to pass for Lauda the World Championship Andretti, advised of things to come at a stirring victory followed by Depailler in the Tyrrell.
Two major developments have occurred in 1977, the Renault turbo made its debut at the British Grand Prix when the Lotus-Ford made his debut in Argentina 78 would carry two races for the coming years Lotus was the first successful implementation of ground effects - the ability to operate the air moving underneath the car the idea had its origins in the car speed record back in the 30s, particularly automobiles designed by Professor unions Eberan-Eberhorst employing side skirts and a bottom providing a venturi effect in 1969 experienced various BRM principles to ground later effect in Lotus Tony Rudd and Peter Write, who had worked together at BRM developed the concept with Ralph Bellamy and of course Colin Chapman Chapman took particular pleasure in the multiple use of components and the idea of ​​using air under the car found a ready champion element missing in previous models was the adoption of flexible side skirts with skirts But even the amount of negative pressure was still very small tests were performed on a wind tunnel with a rolling road Chapman assumed that the reduction in ground clearance increase pressure and other tests gave Move right Ala closest to the rode surface such that the difference was only four inches caused the road surface effectively to raise it by the team will report their findings to Chapman each week and would be directed to pursue different ideas the first test of the car took place in August 1976, when Gunnar Nilsson secretly ran the car at Snetterton Circuit the car was not running this year to the spring of the following year the opposition Sprung was the grand Prix of Argentina, but so new was the concept that few compr is what it was they saw.
The two new Lotus cars 78 were driven by Nilsson and American ace Mario Andretti that will help to drive Lotus back the desert This first race ended with a wheel bearing collapsed while Andretti was fighting for the second The race was won by Jody Scheckter in a wolf on his first time next round was Brazil and here Ferrari has produced their own car wing, driven by the new Ferrari driver Carlos Reutemann, who won the race in South Africa was the site of a tragic accident that resulted in the death of a marshal and fire than Welshman Tom Pryce's race was won by Niki Lauda, ​​his first victory since the grand Prix of Germany last year for 1977, there were two great price US grand Prix West United States was held in long Beach, California, where American Mario Andretti scored the first victory Lotus 78 for the Grand Prix of Spain was next and the Lotus 78 proved the class of the field Andretti commented that the car without the fastest on the straights felt like it was on rails in curves.

The Belgian Grand Prix was held at Zolder this year, but the conditions were the same, it rained the first round saw the two leading cars, Andretti Lotus and Brabham John Watson eliminated in a collision does Terms not improve much for the rest of the race, but teammate Andretti Gunnar Nilsson won a popular victory coming from third on the grid in Monaco, Cosworth celebrated her when Scheckter scored the manufacturer win the World Championship 100 Monaco motor 10 year anniversary also saw the beginning of a young Italian driver by the name of Riccardo Patrese Andretti left his rivals behind in the grand Prix of Sweden in Anderstop just running out of gas two laps from the end giving the victory to Jacques Laffite in his Ligier Matra powered Andretti turned the tables on his rivals when he stole a victory in the french grand Prix when Brabham failed to Watson fuel.
Back at Grand Prix after an absence of nearly 70 years has been a pioneer of French automaker Renault with a name as illustrious Michelin It was Michelin would introduce radial tires in Formula One as she led the way with removable wheels at the start of Renault century also has a trick up his sleeve that would change the formula a in a few years, their cars were powered by a supercharged engine 1 5 liter that produces 500 hp in 1985, turbo engines producing more 1000 bhp.
The British Grand Prix also marked the debut of a young French Canadian named Gilles Villeneuve driving a McLaren M23 With all that, the race was won by James Hunt The German Grand Prix was moved to Hockenheim and won Niki Lauda Alan Jones driving a shadow was the surprise winner of the grand Prix of Austria while Niki Lauda continued to accumulate points with a second place Lauda added a victory in the next race in Holland for him give a lead as Andretti who won three races was constantly plagued by engine problems Lauda also confirmed that he will leave Ferrari at the end of the year Andretti won the next race in Italy, but the second square Lauda championship was almost his the clincher came to the United States grand Prix won by James Hunt Lauda refused to drive the two remaining races and Ferrari emba Uché Gilles Villeneuve to finish the season after victories Hunt and Scheckter the season was finally over It also marked the end of the line for BRM Bourne T he team who last tasted victory in 1972 would be no more.
Mario Andretti won 4 races in 1977, but reliability problems doomed his chances of championship, but in 1978, he would finish his childhood dream and win the World Championship in 1978 Andretti was joined by Ronnie Peterson at Lotus replacing Gunnar Nilsson who had cancer that would soon take his life Peterson joined Lotus in a supporting role in the hope of restoring his career after a disastrous time with Tyrrell for 1978 was now using the new Lotus 79 with modified side pods could be modified depending on track conditions in Lotus won eight of the sixteen races this year with six and two Andretti will go to Peterson.

New for 1978 was the Arrows team created by Alan Rees, Jackie Oliver and former Shadow designer Tony Southgate Their car also has a car wing design but with some differences in side pod Ferrari design with their new Michelin tires also scored several victories but the most striking car surly 1978 must have been the Brabham-Alfa BT46 with its fan mounted on the back to draw air from the bottom of the car the car caused a sensation at the great Prix of Sweden where he won a convincing victory celebrations Brabham team was short-lived because the car was banned shortly after 1978 marked the second time that an American would become world champion, but the title of Andretti was still marked by the death of teammate Ronnie Peterson at Monza.
This accident made this writer deeply and caused a break with Formula One that lasted more than a decade Its not easy writing about 1978 and we hope that readers of this site will enable the company to continue on a 1979 decision he would regret soon Carlos Reutemann left Ferrari for Lotus and was replaced at Ferrari by Jody Scheckter would be teamed with the hard charging Villeneuve John Watson left Brabham for McLaren and his seat was taken in turn by the talented Nelson Brazilian Piquet There was still a war in progress between Michelin and Goodyear tire Since Michelin was to provide Renault and Ferrari their task was infinitely easier as more and more Goodyear teams were incorporating some type of design wing car and softer tires, the best cars were now able to achieve cornering forces over 3g by ra pport to 1 g in the early sixties and 6 to 7g in the last decade before engine fifties.
Lotus came out with the type 80 but the car was a disaster, forcing them to return to the past year type 79 As was their recent record would be a year for Lotus and the beginning of a general trend towards down the famous British team's new Williams FW07 driven by Alan Jones and Clay Regazzoni prove the legitimate heir to the Lotus 79 Ligier used a Ford-Cosworth DFV engine instead of using their car MATRA V12s would prove particularly adept on Brabham BT48 tortuous sections to reveal quickly into the hands of Lauda and Piquet, but mechanical problems taint the team for the entire year, except for the victory of Lauda in the non-championship Dino Ferrari in Imola GP later that Brabham year would use a Ford-Cosworth DFV eight cylinders in their BT49.
Legend The Tyrrell 009 was built around plans for a Lotus 79 model that the company had obtained the manufacturer Tamaya Renault model began the season with the RS01 last year, but with their turbocharged more powerful they have claimed the first pole position of the season with Monaco, they converted two turbochargers to fight against turbo lag and the french grand Prix they finally scored their first victory.

The first two races of the season, Argentina and Brazil were won by Jacques Laffite for Ligier Ferrari took the next race in South Africa while Ligier bounced in Spain, this time in the hands of Patrick Depailler the Belgian Grand Prix was very competitive with the lead changing six times before Jody Scheckter in a Ferrari put his car in advance to guard Monaco was a battle between Scheckter and Regazzoni Williams but try as he might the pilot Swiss could not pass the red car Unfortunately, it was the last grand Prix ex -World Champion James Hunt after the race, he left the Wolf team and retired from the race As stated earlier, the grand Prix french was won by Renault, but it was the battle for second place between Villeneuve and Arnoux who captivated fans this end racing duel with several passes, a few at a mid-corner added to the growing legend of the young French-Canadian driver that it was for second place made all the more remarkable.
The fast track at Silverstone was next and Williams would dominate the Grand Prix Ferrari and they would fight the rest of the season for the title at the end, it was the reliability of Ferrari would prove hard to beat as Scheckter claim the Villeneuve as his teammate Alan Jones third.
The new decade has seen a number of changes on the grid with the disappearance of the shadows merge Wolf and Copersucar, and the return of Alfa-Romeo Off the track, he continued to struggle between FISA and the Formula One Constructors' Association FOCA the main manufacturer s such as Renault, Ferrari and Alfa Romeo Fiat tended to another with FISA while British teams have thrown their lot with FOCA This fight also concerned turbocharged engines carried by former and sliding skirts and ground effects advocated by the latter.
The year saw victories by four different drivers in the first four races, including Alan Jones for Williams, Rene Arnoux Renault, Nelson Piquet for Brabham and Carlos Reutemann in a Williams before Jones won again in Spain Spain also saw a standoff between FISA and FOCA that led to the withdrawal of Renault, Ferrari and Alfa Romeo as well as any championship points being awarded the winner with in disarray series, it was left to Goodyear to force combatants to the negotiating table the French grand Prix seemed for a French victory with Arnoux leader Jacques Laffite should be taken by Jones Jones won again in England while Laffite finished first in Germany after a victory by Jean-Pierre Jabouille in Austria the next two races were won by Piquet in Zandvoort the title race is now between the two pilots, Alan Jones Australian and Brazilian Nelson Piquet with Jones winning the title with a win at Watkins Glen.

The war between FISA and FOCA continued in 1981 resulting in the postponement of the Argentine Grand Prix Bernie Ecclestone has threatened to launch its own championship professional world but fortunately was struck an agreement at a summit meeting in Maranello that would come to be known as the Concorde agreement.
In 1966, when the formula was changed to 3-liter engines a provision was made for 1 5 liter supercharged No takers among current engine suppliers and the huge success of the Ford-Cosworth it was left to a stranger , another with a history dating back to the first grand Prix to show a third way Renault had tried to win Le Mans with a turbocharged engine, but suffered cracked pistons Bernard Dudot was sent to Garrett AiResearch to study the art of turbo load in 1979, the Renault engine has found its place in a large car Price They were soon joined by BMW and the turbo era born was thought by some that turbocharged engines allow large manufacturers to groom the smaller piece and British teams recognized leadership in the design of the chassis.
In 1981 Ferrari was now firmly in the turbo camp, but even the talents of Gilles Villeneuve Couldn t carry the car badly handling McLaren championship was now under the control of Ron Dennis and John Watson driving a John Barnard designed McLaren MP4 it became the first car chassis made of carbon fiber to win a championship race at grand Prix of England the title came down to the last race in Las Vegas and Piquet with a fifth place finish secured enough points to become champion world Turbo powered cars continued to grow, and when the year ended, they had won seven of 16 races on the calendar for years.
rule changes for 1982 prohibiting the use of mobile skirts forced the teams to reduce ground clearance approximately 25 mm in conjunction with a virtual absence of suspension movement Drivers now experiencing cornering forces up to 4GS some dual circuits world champion Niki Lauda was lured from retirement with a barrel full of money Marlboro cigarettes to join John Watson McLaren Alan Jones went the opposite direction and left the Formula 1 opening an office in Williams Finn Keke Rosberg third rival for the title of the previous year, Carlos Reutemann was also retired, this time after the first two races.

Turbos Ferrari, Renault and now Brabham dominated the opening race at Kyalami with Prost taking the flag British teams continued to fight what became a losing battle against the Turbos Brabham access both turbocharged Cosworth engines and have tried to straddle the middle Piquet Brabham took Brazil, but only after a temporary return to an atmospheric engine turbo cars have a distinct advantage over the fastest circuits but their turbo lag continues out disabilities on the track with many corners only after Spa it was firmly dragged into the turbo camp by his former BMW engine provider.
It was a tour of the recently a retired Niki Lauda next to Long Beach before the battle between FOCA and FISA erupted again Ferrari won the FOCA boycotted the Grand Prix of San Marino, but a feud between Ferrari teammates Didier Pironi and Gilles Villeneuve lead to tragedy in Zolder Villeneuve desperate attempt to out qualify his bitter enemy ended when he hit a slow movement Jochen Mass Villeneuve never won a championship, wins at all costs were not its goal the gathering of valuable points, this sport has lost a direct descendant Bernd Rosemeyer and Tazio Nuvolari when the small Canadian pilot died the words used to describe the German ace prewar; blow like meteor across the firmament of racing by Cyril Posthumas well have applied this rider whose life was the speed As often happens, it is only after something went do, we begin to realize what was that we had.
Almost afterwards the race was won by John Watson for McLaren in Monaco it rained, but Riccardo Patrese was able to stay on the track and score his first victory Watson and Piquet took the next two races, Detroit and Canada, respectively great German title race was between price Pironi and Watson only to have career ending injuries suffer Ferrari driver during testing of the great Swiss Prix held in Dijon, France was won by Rosberg was now in the LEAD championship season ends in dismal Las Vegas, the grand Prix of the United States - West and although the race was won by Michele Alboreto in a Tyrrell title went to Keke Rosberg battle between the turbocharged and normally aspirated cars were now dead even at eight wins each.
A turbocharged car had yet to take his driver at the World Championships that would change in 1983 Two new manufacturers introduced turbocharged engines - Honda and TAG-Porsche 1983 also saw the effective prohibition of the effects on the ground with the requirement to fund the first dishes half of the season saw the Ford victories propelled long Beach, Monaco and Detroit before turbos resumed in earnest the 1982 season was a development season for Brabham and new BMW engine provider, but when the car is came right Nelson Piquet was the man to bring home to win two of the last three races and claim his second world championship the eighties now have their second double world champion, but there seemed to be something missing this year.
With the death of Villeneuve Formula driver had lost many considered one of its most, though, as he ran the world championship would go to other Formula One was always in search of his next big star Soon they would have two and grille seemed barely large enough to contain the old guard was still not quite in that 1984 could be regarded as a transitional year when the remarkable Niki Lauda, ​​a year's income retirement claimed his third and final title in second place for the second consecutive year, this time with a single point of the half was his young teammate Alain Prost Lauda using all his racing boat was able to counter the speed of his new rival, but the writing was on the wall a new force had come to the front in Formula called years later, the professor, he was the fastest man on the grid for an entire year.

It was 1984 and turbocharged engines would soon be used by all teams except Tyrrell who persevered to the Cosworth-Ford normally aspirated fuel consumption was limited to 220 liters with more permitted without pit stop Mandated by the desire to reduce the speed of all these rules have had a negative impact to transform a large number of races in the economy turns radial tires became standard equipment for wet and dry tires.
The year started with two wins from McLaren with Prost winning in Brazil while teammate answered the challenge with a win at the Grand Prix of South Africa TAG-Porsche six-cylinder providing exceptional engine power Alboreto Ferrari wins Belgian Grand Monaco race in Zolder was a mess for a number of teams when pilots, de Angelis Lotus, Ligier and de Cesaris Euroracing Cheever ran out of gas before the finish line while Prost won his second win of the year, this race would have been quickly forgotten had it not been for two young lions Stefan Bellof and Ayrton Senna catching leaders based in the rain while Bellof suffer a tragic accident at Spa while trying to pass Jacky Ickx outside at Eau Rouge during a sports car race Senna would go up at the beginning of Formula 1 talent strength and charisma.
Feeling snubbed by McLaren and Williams after what he felt were the tests with his unsatisfactory success 2nd place in Monaco did little to change the perception that the introduction of the race were arrayed against him This attitude not far easily change the next two races were curiously the United States two Grand Prix in Detroit and Dallas Nelson Piquet scored a victory in Detroit, but the race in Dallas proved a fiasco close when the new asphalt surface put melt under the fierce sun and began to disintegrate despite strong reservations of the driver of the race took place under the orders of the race Bernie Ecclestone fact in quite thrilling because of a thrilling duel between the English Mansell and Finland's Keke Rosberg the race was decided when Mansell had to visit the pits for new tires Mansell race ended in literally a pile when it collapsed in trying to push his Lotus on the line for 5th place Whether feigned or not proven great theater the great Prix was next to an electronic calendar.
The order of finish saw Lauda first, followed by advance Derek Walker Senna and McLaren in the constructor race grew with their insurmountable 1-2 at the next race in Germany Prost took the honors on his teammate Lauda While German race was held at Hockenheim the great Prix d'Europe is the new Nurburgring, a circuit which unfortunately nothing in common with the old course, adding a tragic final note of the almost fatal accident of a Lauda year ago Prost qualified in pole position while his teammate was nowhere seen in 15th place Prost lead from start to finish to close the gap between him and Lauda with 62 points on January 2 this last 66 the last race Estoril was for the big Portuguese Price Prost started from the first row next to the pole winner, Piquet in the beginning it was Rosberg who jumped into the lead with Mansell follow the front on the second t our Prost managed to pass Mansell and seven laps later passed Rosberg ahead During this Lauda star time ted 15 began closing leaders With Prost leader Lauda finished second to win the championship with 18 laps to go, he was still in third place well behind Mansell Just then the chance given on Austria when the brakes Mansell failed causing him to spin off Lauda second and with it the championship with 1 2 points on Prost.

For 1985 the new man Ayrton Senna joined Elio de Angelis in the Lotus team replacing Mansell who moved to Williams Alboreto has lifted the spirits of Ferrari after one season victory in 1984 with a pole position in the opening race Brazil only to collide with Williams Mansell the first Fortunately Italian curve could continue and even lead to lap 18 a bad shift allowed Prost head where it would remain the largest Portuguese Price now the second race on the calendar was run in heavy rain complete the race saw the glow of Senna displayed for all to see from pole position, he was 30 seconds ahead after the same number of laps at the end he led the only other car on the same lap of 1 minute 32 seconds a new star had arrived Senna continued his charge at Imola challenged by Prost in a duel that would continue for the rest e their Senna career was able to delay Prost, but in doing so ran out of fuel two laps from the end giving the French victory only to be disqualified for his Senna teammate Angelis The Belgian Grand Prix was a complete disaster when the track broke in qualifying race strength to drop out of favor for the Canadian Grand Prix the first four places are held by Lotus and Ferrari.
While the good qualifying performance began to wait Senna it is noteworthy that his teammate Angelis was rarely bothered by the Brazilian and more often than not shown a good amount of speed in its own right The race itself belonged to the team Ferrari with a 1-2 lead Alboreto in Detroit, it was Rosberg turn to shine while Piquet show everything he was still a force to be reckoned with by taking the french grand Prix with Rosberg, Lauda, ​​Mansell, Piquet, Prost, Senna and Alboreto F1 world driver was 7 s worthy to be world Champion of the grand Prix of Austria saw a win by Prost and a departure notice of retirement by its native son Lauda suffering through dismal season, thus qualifying himself in the peloton decided that this would be his last year.
Prost won again in Italy while Lauda crowned his great career with a final victory in Holland Prost was now leading the championship which he won at Brands Hatch Place Grand Prix this year Europe Besides the retirement Lauda the end of the season also caused the withdrawal of the team from the Renault factory After starting the turbo era, they failed to win either championship in the future they win so many titles as an engine supplier.
