Isnt that the race where a technical problem on the formation lap meant he had no use of his rear brakes?

That is why I answered that way.
JYS was always a special one huh?!
Amazing that a small country such as Scotland produced two of the greatest ever - and in Clark's case my view, the greatest ever - racing drivers.
52 grand prix wins
5 world titles
50 pole positions
43 fastest laps
and ALL THAT from only 171 races. Remarkable!!!!Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D

Here are TWO new questions:
Which current team boss RACED for Alan Docking racing in British F3 and his own team in F3000 [maybe this last one gives it away]?
And:
Why does the one and only Jonesy-boy, as his great late mate James Hunt used to call him [anyone else remember the fantastic 1976 dice at the RoC at Brands between Jones and Hunt :-] absolutely WRANKLE when anyone suggests he won 12 grands prix?Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D

Don't know the first.
The second one is because he also won the 1980 Spanish GP which was dropped from the championship for political reasons and therefore is ignored by those who think F1 and grand prix is the same as world championship races.Duncan Rollo

Yes, Horner and Jarama 1980 :-]
Jones is still extremely angry about that - he gave a great interview in Motorsport magazine some months ago - and at his next win at Paul Ricard he refused to stand on the podium while Balestre was also present.
Today drivers like Jones and others such as Jody Scheckter would be banned from the sport!!!Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D

Who had the longest break between racing in a grand prix again? Clue: he was actually very good in wet conditions and loved the rain.
See if y'all remember who replaced Carlos Reutemann in 1982 at Williams - no peeking yet: clue - he worked in a coal mine in Australia to earn money for racing once with another driver who I was a fan of and should have gotten a decent chance in f1 [if I told you who you would guess the answer].
Which team principle prefers vinyl to cd's?Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D
Really waiting for rally Portugal to see Meeke's pace! Oliver will have proper challenge.. as Meeke smashed others.. yes, had puncture.. but still DOMINATED :D
