Jones vs Piquet 1980

#1

Post by White six »

What a nice little title battle this was. Jones seems to be cruising only to find Piquet slicing through the field at the end.

I'd love to hear what Murray and James thought in Canada, though the only upload of Grand Prix seems to be blocked in the Uk. Anyone got it?

I suspect they were siding broadly with Jones. Murray especially seemed to view Jones as a honorary Englishman whilst there were no genuine ones on the grid and is always banging on about Williams :)

Also in Italy you hear the first hints from James that Brabham may have found some 'advantage'. Will discover if that was an ongoing theme later

Jones put Piquet in the wall on the first start though didn't he?
The board equivalent of the Jody scheckter chicane. Fast but pointless
