Victorious Nelson Piquet collapsing on the podium may also remind to some the painful victory of another Brazilian at his home Grand Prix: Ayrton Senna, 1991 São Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos.
Nelson Piquet (1st) and Keke Rosberg (2nd) were subsequently disqualified after their cars were found to be underweight because of the "ballast water tank" which then led to the other infamous boycott of the San Marino Grand Prix with the duel between Pironi and Villeneuve that everybody recalls and what happened next.
That looks like Michele Alboreto on the right. And given what Jochen Mass was about to do to Gilles Villeneuve a month later, I don't think he's in any position to be critical of someone else. He was just a talentless bum who never accomplished anything except killing Gilles Villeneuve, and that's all he'll ever be remembered for.
@@JonathanAllen0379 Indeed that is definitely Michele Alboreto even if he looks a bit like Riccardo from the side but with darker skin and more curly hair + the Tyrrell outfit. Jochen seems to be ponting at the next corner after the staight .. perhaps Michele was on his trajectory during his hot lap and so trying to intimdate him a bit before the race (?)
@@JonathanAllen0379 Mass didn't kill Villeneuve. And I say this as a Gilles fan. It was a horrifix accident that could have happened to anyone, even the best.
@@JonathanAllen0379 you're stupid, right? Mass certainly wasn't the one to blame on that particular accident.Actually, it was mostly Villeneuve's fault. And Mass wasn't exactly a "talentless bum". He even won the 24 hours of Le Mans. Try to get your facts straight before making idiotic comments

That's right. And a few years ago Nelson told that he never returned the money nor the trophy for that day's victory.
Lauda 0:21 always had this unique way of wearing his racing balaclava at rest like a sunscreen hat (probably linked to his past burn injuries)
Not sure what Jochen Mass and Riccardo Patrese are discussing @ 0:27 but the latter does not seem to be too pleased by it...
