1984 Formula One Season

The 1984 Formula One season was the 35th running of the World Drivers' Championship and 27th year of the Constructors' Championship. It began on March 25 1984 in Brazil and ended on October 21 in Portugal after 16 races.
The Drivers' World Championship was won by Niki Lauda of by just point from teammate Alain Prost – a third drivers' title for Lauda. won the Constructors' Championship by 86 points, winning 12 of the 16 races. The Drivers' Championship result was the closest finish in Formula One history.
Of the drivers making their F1 debut in 1984, perhaps the most notable was future three-time World Champion, Ayrton Senna, who joined the team. Senna drove the usually uncompetitive Toleman to three podium finishes, including a memorable 2nd place at the in heavy rain. Other debutants for the 1984 season included Martin Brundle and Stefan Bellof (), Gerhard Berger () and Jo Gartner ().
Following investigations after the , the cars used by the team were found to have infringed on the technical regulations of the sport. The team, and both of their drivers, were subsequently disqualified from all events of the 1984 season, and banned from competing in any subsequent races after the Detroit event. This draconian punishment was thought to be as much political as anything else, as Ken Tyrrell had frequently vetoed proposed rules changes requiring unanimous votes of team principals. With his team disqualified, Tyrrell was not eligible to vote on rules changes.
