      Josh dunn small secret: Didier Pironi did not run out of fuel. It was a battery problem. Didier Pironi had had a battery problem during the warm-up-session. his mechanics exchanged the battery, but the spare battery wasn‘t charged, and in the three hours between warm-up and race start they could not fully charge it.
      On a normal circuit, this would not have been a problem, but on a slow circuit like Monaco the generator did not produce enough juice to further charge the battery. his car started misfiring towards the last laps and in the end, the battery was empty.

      Daly ran out of gas too! He ended up with the final points position, 2 laps down (6th as it was then). Had Patrese not gotten restarted, the race would have gone an extra lap as Mansell would have made up his lap.
      Points paying positions:
      1. Patrese (9 points, lead lap - running)
      2. Pironi (6 points, 1 lap down - out of fuel)
      3. de Cesaris (4 points, 1 lap down - out of fuel)
      4. Mansell (3 points, 1 lap down - running)
      5. de Angelis (2 points, 1 lap down - running)

    I was at this race sitting in the K grandstand at Tabac. It was dry all through the race and it started to drizzle with rain with a couple of laps to go. I had a perfect view of Prost losing it out of the Chicane, I have photos too. Then it all became very confusing in the crowd as there was no information about who was leading. The guy on the tannoy was shouting a lot, mostly in French and the English announcer, when he got his turn, didn't seem to know who had won. We guessed it was Patrese as he was about the only unlapped car that came past on what we thought was the last lap. There were no big screen back then, just a leader board which didn't change until a while after the race ended. We later went to the paddock and saw Patrese's car and the happy Brabham team.

      The Monaco GP is the only track that still lives in the 70s in safety, hopefully nothing will happen but admittedly coming out of the tunnel its always been very very dangerous if a car fail to slow down or 2 cars tangle their wheels

      Patrese was not well received in F1 and, above all, he was unjustly accused of being responsible for Peterson's death. This led him to close in on himself, not to have an easy character and to make the wrong choices that prejudiced his career. Like rejecting Brabham's offer in 1979. When he went to Brabham in 1982 it was late, Piquet had won a world championship and was number 1 of the team.

      @@johnt7630 Nothing special? In 1977 Patrese in F2 took pole position at the Nurburgring ahead of Regazzoni and Jochen Mass. In the same year, when he made his F1 debut in Montecarlo without any experience, he qualified with fifteenth time and finished ninth. In 1978, with an Arrows (not a Ferrari or Lotus) he was winning the South African GP and finished second in Sweden behind Lauda who had an irregular car. When he drove a competitive car he was only second to his teammate (Piquet at Brabham and Mansell at Williams) who was the number 1 chosen by the team. He was vice-world Champion behind Mansell. He has achieved many victories in endurance cars and prototypes becoming vice world champion. He retired when he had a teammate that was always faster than him, a certain Michael Schumacher ... In 1996, 3 years after retiring, without any training, driving a Williams at Silverstone Patrese was so fast that if it had participated to the British Grand Prix in that year, he would have set the fifth time and would have started from the third row .. you're right, nothing special ...

Made even more entertaining by Murray's dulcet tones as he tries to keep up with events changing in the blink of an eye. Wish I would have been alive when it was shown live!

      That's literally because aerodynamics were made by the body following the ground effect concept whereas wings and cones were just used to stabilize the car. Incase you didnt know, the chassis and the body would literally warp and crumble on itself as the race went on
      Compare that to the modern F1 car where a broken floor or a damaged diffuser could alter the car's driving performance, it's quite reasonable

      @colehartel7206 Před 2 lety +2

      It was insane. Drivers had to be extremely lucky not to break their legs in a frontal crash. It was due to a rule change meaning the fuel tank had to be between the driver and engine, rather than on either side of the driver as had previously been common practise, so the designers simply shifted the driver forward to make space. It wasn't until several seasons later they introduced the rule that the driver's feet must fit behind the front axle line.

      I'm not sure that's true. When ground effect arrived, the logical place for the fuel cell was between the engine and driver, so F1 kind of stumbled into it. One of the problems with F1 in that era was that safety standards were not nearly as high as they are today (and they still leave something to be desired). Prior to the advent of carbon fibre, chassis were all built out of AlMg alloy and while they were extremely light, they had offered as much crash protection as a blancmange. Once John Watson had proved the strength of carbon, following a huge crash coming out of the second Lesmo at Monza in 1981, other teams began to adopt it and by 1983, I think it was universal.Carbon fibre has probably saved more racing lives than any other factor.
      The rule about the driver's feet was first promulgated by the GPDA in 1982 (I think, could have been 1981). It wasn't adopted until Jacques Lafitte broke both his legs in a career-ending crash at the 1986 British Grand Prix.
