Re: trivia question....
At the 1982 San Marino Grand Prix Gilles Villeneurve and DIdier Pironi finished 1-2 in Ferrari. However Pironi won after going against team orders and as a result Villeneurve said he would never speak to Pironi again. Why was this tragically ironic? Because it was true, he never did speak to Pironi...

Re: Teams we would like to see return to F1
Ah no contest, Lotus, Brabham and Tyrrell with Minardi buying back Toro Rosso to make up the four. Don't know of anyone owns the name of Tyrrell. Did it go with Craig Pollock to BAR? F1 Racing reported recently that Brawn was nearly named Tyrrell instead, but Ross Brawn' name just carried more clou...

Re: Teams we would like to see return to F1
I started following F1 in the early-to-mid-1990's so have a certain fondness for some of the teams of around that era - namely Minardi, Simtek, Pacific, Lola. I never really seemed to become infactuated with Forti, mind you.And I loved the Castrol livery on the 1994 Lotus, a beautiful car in my opin...
