I was watching the 2002 FIA F1 review recently and I had completely forgotten about the USGP from that year...

That can't be real. No way on Earth you can lose a race in a more silly way.

Dennis took the blame for having mess up the carburation after the warm up but it wasn't him and was fired. The actual guy who screwed it came out in the nineties taking all the blame from Dennis. BTW, does anyone miss Dennis in F1?futuretiger9 wrote: At Brands Hatch, he ran out of fuel on the last lap, with Rindt again the beneficiary. One of Brabham's mechanics was a certain Ron Dennis...

"Dallas was what I would call an ‘old-fashioned’ North American street circuit, delineated with concrete blocks. It was a very tricky circuit, and bumpy enough to make even Monaco look smooth: the drivers literally had to fight their cars all the way round as they skipped and jumped from bump to bump. I remember during the race, Ayrton hit the wall, and then later retired because of the damage. When he eventually made it back to the pits, he didn’t seem to understand how he could have hit the wall. It seemed to come as a complete shock to him that he had hit the wall, and his immediate reaction was “I know I didn’t make a mistake – the wall must have moved.” Remember, we were talking about a twenty tonne concrete block here, but he was so insistent that he persuaded me to walk round the circuit and take a look. When I did so, the wall had indeed moved – somebody had clearly clipped the previous block and in doing so, displaced the next one by only about 4cm. Instead of the transition from block to block being smooth, a 4cm difference had caught the rear wheel, broken it and punctured the tyre. That was when it really came home to me, the precision to which he was driving, and made me think he was a bit special… And remember this was a guy in his first season of F1, straight out of F3…"

I was wondering that as well. It must have someone high up in Toleman, but who? There's a name on the tip of my tongue, someone who's part of David Richard's Prodrive organisation. Can't remember his name.

Sorry, should have quoted that it was Pat Symonds..
Interesting quote though isn't it!
Thought it was apt for this thread, because losing a race because you are TOO PRECISE is a classic.

At the moment a guy, who was a m-m-m-me.. engineer at Brabham, is at the helm of McLaren. (Redman said Ron Dennis hated it when he was called a mechanic instead of what he would call an engineer.)FloP wrote:Who was that again?caneparo wrote:BTW, does anyone miss Dennis in F1?
