BOILED BRAKES BRING BOYCOTT! The Story of the 1982 Water Cooled Brakes Controversy

Күн бұрын

At the 1982 Brazilian Grand Prix, the top two cars were disqualified for a loophole they, and the other FOCA-aligned teams had exploited regarding the minimum weight requirements. But because Renault, a FISA-aligned team inherited the win and the other FOCA teams were left alone, it left a rather sour taste in everyone's mouth.
So how did Brabham and Williams (Along with others) pull it off? Let's have a look.

The reason Watson/Mansell/Alboreto etc were not disqualified despite running the same set up as Rosberg and Piquet? Nobody protested about them, Renault ONLY protested the two cars in front of them, and not anyone else, so the FIA only investigated the Williams and Brabham, thus they were the only ones disqualified.

If you really want a motor racing figure who's rubbed the boundaries of a rule book dozens of times in NASCAR and somehow got away with it, I would suggest a retrospective on Junior Johnson, I heard his conniving but ingenious nature involved connections with F1 mechanics. He's basically regarded to NASCAR what Colin Chapman is to Formula One, the single greatest innovator in the entire sport (except for saying Colin wasn't a moonshine runner of the 1930s and 40s).

Two things, the Alfa V12 WAS developed for ground effect cars, Murray asked them to build it for the 1979 season. It's problem was it was to big, heavy, thirsty and unreliable. And they did eventually drop it for their 1.5 l V8 turbo.
