The CRAZIEST Season in F1 History!

[@arlindosilva2557]

Fun fact: Alain Prost retired 5 laps from the end of Austrian GP. Had he won that race, he would have scored 43 points against 42 from Keke Rosberg. In fact, Prost lost 1981, 1982 and 1984 championships due to retirements in the Austrian GP which helped the actual champions to beat him in the end of the year.

[@sugarnads]

Yep. When he FINISHED a race in the renault he never finished lower than 3rd. So. If he finished ONE more race in any of those seasons he would have been world champion. How close do you need to go? A smidgeon more reliability and hes champion 3 times before maclaren. Maybe he never goes to maclaren. He was the best driver of the era. And frankly i think he is THE best F1 driver of all time.

[@detonator2112]

Prost's nickname "professor" was completely accurate. He was the smartest driver in F1 history. And he beat every single one of his teammates. Including FIVE world champions. Senna, Keke, Lauda, Mansell and Hill. And didn't give much chance to young hotshot Alesi, either. To me he is the GOAT.

[@petripuumalainen8789]

You must count other drivers dfns as well. Keke Rosberg was not free from bad luck either.

[@petripuumalainen8789]

I mean there were Many races where it was Alain Prost who benefitted from other drivers bad luck. For example Alain Prost won title in 1986 only due to Bad luck of Nigel Mansell.

[@detonator2112]

@@petripuumalainen8789 It wasn't "bad luck". Mansell self-destructed in a superior car. People think about Adelaide but championships are lost and won during the 16 races. Mansell self-destructed in 1987 too in a superior car and injured Piquet won the title. Mansell needed 1 sec. faster car in 1992 to finally achieve it.

What would have made it even more crazy is that if Rosberg finished 2nd in the Swiss Grand Prix he would have still won the championship. He would then have the chance to do the biggest troll move in F1 history and retire from the sport, meaning he would have been a world champion without a single career win.

[@dominicbarden4436]

This season must've been a rollercoaster to follow live. From the drivers strike in South Africa, the boycott of Imola, the tragedy of Villeneuve's death in Zolder to Pironi's career-ending crash at Hockenheim, and then added to the fact that there were DNFs left, right and centre each race, so consistency was very hard to find, with Rosberg coming out on top. I'm generally impressed by championship wins built on consistency as well as those in which the winning driver won the most races. They're great examples of the moral of the Hare and the Tortoise 'Slow and steady wins the race.' Stoffel Vandoorne in Formula E and Will Power in Indycar, both in 2022, won the championship in their respective series by only winning once, but Matt Crafton in NASCAR Trucks in 2019 and Oriol Servià in Indy Lights in 1999 managed to win the championship despite not winning any races at all, which I'd argue is also impressive. In terms of crazy seasons I've seen in motorsport, I think the most chaotic I've ever seen was the 2020-'21 Formula E Championship. That season was such a mess that drivers would literally fly up or down several places in the standings from race to race, partially due to the qualifying system at the time, which sorted the field into groups based on championship order, with the result that the drivers leading the championship tended to qualify deep in the field and had to race their way back through, and with how close the majority of the grid were, track position was often vital. Eighteen drivers out of a grid of 24 were still in mathematical title contention going into the final double header in Berlin, that's how crazy it was! 11 drivers won a race (no-one won more than twice), 20 drivers scored at least one podium finish and every driver scored at least one point. And champion Nyck de Vries only scored points in 7 out of 15 races (2 wins, 2 2nds, and 8th and 2 9ths). An honourable mention goes to the 2020 MotoGP season, as while I didn't watch it, I did keep an eye on it online and it was still bonkers just from looking at the results and race reports. Funnily enough, champion Joan Mir only won once during the season!

[@nedzosf1gridbox]

Yea that FE qualy format sounds wild

[@dominicbarden4436]

@@nedzosf1gridbox It was 4 groups of 6, based on the championship order after the previous round. 1st-6th were in Group 1, 7th-12th in Group 2 and so on. Each group had six minutes to set a lap, and the top 6 overall went into the Superpole shootout, in which they each had one flying lap. Group 1 inevitably tended to get somewhat shafted by track evolution, which, as it was the championship leaders, led them to often qualify in the midfield. It had been introduced for the 2018-'19 season if I remember right, replacing what was originally a random draw for the groups (the Superpole shootout had been introduced back in 2015-'16), but the way it arguably impacted the championship in 2021 wasn't particularly popular, so for 2021-'22 they changed it to the current format, which is somehow wilder but is a bit more merit-based: The field is split into two groups, again based on championship order from the previous round. Group 1 is made up of the drivers in odd-numbered positions, Group 2 is made up of even-numbers. Each group has 12 minutes in which they have to do at least two flying laps, one in each half, but they can do as many laps as they like. The top 4 from each session then go into a knockout format like a football tournament: quarter finals, semi finals and a final. 1 on 1, 1 flying lap each, with one driver leaving the pits several seconds behind the other in order that they both get a clean lap. Pole position simply goes to the winner of the final.

[@mrkipling2201]

1994 is still the craziest, most tragic and exciting F1 season I've ever watched. I started watching F1 in 1985, so I wasn't lucky enough to watch the 1982 season as it happened. I've seen highlights of races though and videos like this just makes it better.

Great video; I was 20 in 1982 and watched as much as I could of this season that was available in the USA. And of course I also watched all the televised CART races plus the Indy 500 (CART didn't give points for Indy that season; it was considered only USAC that year). I will admit I was a Villeneuve fan so his death kind of took down my F1 interest that year, but it was an amazing FI season with all the up and downs, Pironi having a nearly insurmountable lead at the time of his accident but eventually Mr. Consistency Keke Rosberg wound the driver's championship. Regarding Mario Andretti - it's not like he was sitting at home; he was back in CART full-time with Patrick Racing (one of CART's top 2 teams). Mario finished 3rd in the series that year - no wins but 4 seconds and 2 thirds - so 6 times on the "podium" (CART would sometimes do the F1-style podium, other races they didn't). At Indy he qualified 4th but his car was knocked out on the initial start crash triggered by Kevin Cogan. Also, in that particular era CART cars were as close to F1 as they ever got - ground effects with skirts, turbo Cosworth engines, etc. so Andretti could jump into an F1 car and get up to speed quickly. And I have to agree that the "track" in Las Vega in the Caesar's Palace parking lot was total crap - it was crap for F1 and for CART when they ran the circuit for a few years.

[@nedzosf1gridbox]

Andretti was a great driver, winning in his 50s in CART/Indy and yea that Caesars Palace “oval” or whatever it was called was very strange as it had five turns, one of which being a 90 degree one you had to slow right down for

Rosberg's Williams had about 150-200 hp deficit compared to Brabham, Renault and Ferrari. It was arguably the 4th or even 5th best car on the grid (after McLaren). It's insane that he won the 1982 title with that car and even more insane is that some people complain that he won only one race. They understand very little about F1. That Williams was literally 5 seconds slower on Hockenheim qualifying than the top cars.

[@nedzosf1gridbox]

I agree with the basis of your point but the horsepower figures there are exaggerated. According to various sources the turbo runners of 1982 were producing at least 570 BHP at over 11,000 RPM in race trim, compared to the 515 BHP of the best Cosworth runners

[@detonator2112]

@@nedzosf1gridbox Yes, in the race trim, Wikipedia says "at least 580 hp" because they occasionally had to tone it down because of the reliability issues. In the qualifying trim the difference was much bigger. Brabham was already using the BMW M12 engine in 1982 which had enormous power. I doubt they produced the crazy numbers (like 1400 hp) that they produced in 1986 but they definitely took way more than 580 hp from them. This 150-200 hp quote came from an old Derek Daly interview. Look at the qualifying times at Hockenheim, Monza and Paul Ricard for example. 3-5 second difference between turbos and Cosworths. That's WAY more than 50 hp.

@@nedzosf1gridbox Amazing video summary by the way. Very fascinating season. For me Rosberg's championship has always been the most underrated thing in F1 history. Had Senna won it with such an inferior car, they'd be still talking about it. Same with Rosberg's win of the Silverstone 1978 non-GP race with a Theodore (that was basically a F2 car) in torrential rain. The conditions were insane and all "top guys" spun off right away. People talk about Senna's Donington 1993 rain race (he had a top car that had an advanced traction control). Rosberg's 1978 Theodore was a rattling, antique car that rarely qualified to the races in the dry. Numbers don't always tell the whole truth about drivers and their abilities. Cheers.

[@shadeburst]

Keke WDC: To achieve your dreams the first step is to pitch up. For the big teams, 1982 was a non-season. Regulation changes for 1983 (ground effect outlawed completely, all cars return to a flat undertray, four wheel drive banned along with cars with more than four wheels, minimum weight set at 540 kg, credit Wiki) discouraged teams from putting any development into their cars, which were about to become obsolete. Williams and Rosberg kept on plugging away with the equivalent of a family sedan and to finish in the points, first you have to finish. Circuit racing is banned in Switzerland. Autoslalom and hillclimb are very popular however and Switzerland has a FIA-designated Autorité Sportive Nationale or ASN. On top of this, some electric races have been held on street circuits. Call me confused.

[@deepinthewoods8078]

I agree with the fact that none of the major teams got their act together in 1982, but the reason was not the rule changes for the 1983 season (which were announced very late in 1982), but rather a combination of factors. For starters, the turbo engines had become vastly superior, but the Renaults were too unreliable, Brabham-BMW had a very chaotic start and were also unreliable (which is understandable for a new turbo engine). The only turbo team with a reliable car was Ferrari, but they lost both drivers in serious accidents and ran many races with only 1 car and even skipped the Swiss GP completely because of a back injury of Tambay. Meanwhile none of the teams with normally aspirated engines had a really good package. McLaren probably was the best team, but they were somewhat inconsistent as the team was still taking shape under the new Ron Dennis management. Ligier threw it all away by sacking designer Gérard Ducarouge in 1981. Finally Williams had a decent car, although it was not as quick as during the 3 previous years and suffered from chronic brake problems...

The FW08 was the quickest naturally-aspirated car in 1982. The first 3 quickest cars were all turbocharged (Renault, Ferrari, Brabham-BMW) which had 100 or more hp. At the tracks with long straights like Hockenheim or Ricard, or tracks at high altitude like Kyalami in South Africa the turbos were sometimes 3 second laps quicker than the next fastest car. At Hockenheim, the gap between Patrese in the Brabham-BMW qualifying 6th and Alboreto qualifying 7th was 2.9 seconds. Just think about that.

12 minutes in and I've decided I can't sit through any more of this. Maybe, later on, the narrator would have gone on to say that Rosberg drove two totally different designs of car that year and won the championship in a chassis that had led its first race until very near the end of the Belgian GP and had qualified on pole for the British GP, albeit that it couldn't get off the grid under its own power on the warm up lap; not exactly the fourth fastest car. This content might be easier to listen to if the author got somebody else to read it. The pronunciation of everything from drivers' names to everyday English words made it a difficult listen. It sounds like you weren't even around in 1982.
