[Intro]

Special

Special

[Verse 1]

Woke up this morning to somebody in a video

Talking about something I posted in a video

If it wasn't me then would you even get offended

Or is it just because I'm black and heavy? Y'all don't hear me tho

I've been the same since I've been driving slow on Bissonnet

Call up anybody I know and they would tell you that

Famous, pretty, new, but I've been used to people judging me

That's why I move the way I move and why I'm so in love with me

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm used to feeling alone, oh

So, I thought that I'd let you know

[Chorus]

In case nobody told you today, you're special (Special)

In case nobody made you believe, you're special (Special)

Well, I'll always tell you the same, you're special (Special)

I'm so glad that you're still with us

Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (Special)

[Verse 2]

Could you imagine a world where everybody's the same?

And you can cancel a girl 'cause she just wanted to change

How can you throw fucking stones if you ain't been through her pain?

That's why we feel so alone, that's why we feel so much shame

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm used to feeling alone, oh

So, I thought that I'd let you know, oh

[Chorus]

In case nobody told you today, you're special (Special)

In case nobody made you believe, you're special (Special)

Well, I'll always tell you the same, you're special (Special)

I'm so glad that you're still with us

Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (Perfect)

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ooh) I know that I'm not alone, oh

(Ooh) So, I thought that I'd let you know (Oh, yeah, yeah, ah)

[Chorus]

In case nobody told you today, you're special (Special) (Yeah)

In case nobody made you believe (Oh), you're special (Special)

Well, I'll always tell you the same, you're special (Special)

I'm so glad that you're still with us (I'm so glad, so glad, so glad)

Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (I'm so glad, so glad, so glad)

[Outro]

Special

You are, you are, you are so

1991 United States Grand Prix

1991 United States Grand Prix

The 1991 United States Grand Prix is the 1st race of the 1991 F1 Season. It was won by Gerhard Berger with Mansell 2nd and Alesi 3rd.

Pre-Qualifying

In pre-qualifying in Phoenix, the Dallaras were easily the fastest cars in the session, with Pirro half a second faster than Lehto. Nearly two seconds slower in third was Larini in the Modena Lambo, and the fourth pre-qualifier was Gachot in the Jordan. Missing out in fifth place was de Cesaris in the other Jordan, who made a gear selection error on a faster lap, just ahead of Chaves, who crashed the Coloni during the session. Grouillard was seventh in the Fondmetal, complaining of a lack of grip, but bottom of the time sheets, nearly five seconds adrift of Grouillard, was van de Poele in the other Lambo. The Belgian had encountered a protester on the track during one run, after which his engine failed.

Qualifying

Senna took pole ahead of Berger and Patrese. Mansell started 4th whilst both Ferrari's started 6th and 7th, the sole Jordan of Gachot started 14th and the sole Lambo of Larini started 17th. Bailey, Comas, Johansson and Caffi all failed to qualify.

1989 Mexican Grand Prix

1989 Mexican Grand Prix

The 1989 Mexican Grand Prix is the 4th race of the 1989 F1 Season. It was won by Ayrton Senna with Prost 2nd and Cheever 3rd.

Pre-qualifying

The pre-qualifying session produced another 1–2 for the Brabham team, their third of the four Grands Prix so far. This time Martin Brundle was fastest ahead of Stefano Modena, with the Dallara of Alex Caffi pre-qualifying in third. The fourth-placed driver was Stefan Johansson in the Onyx, who went through to the main qualifying sessions for the first time this season, at the expense of his team-mate Bertrand Gachot, who was fifth fastest.

Although failing to pre-qualify, Gregor Foitek had one of his better sessions, finishing sixth fastest in the sole EuroBrun, ahead of the Osella of Nicola Larini, who suffered a fuel pump issue. Larini had been lined up to replace Gerhard Berger at Ferrari had the Austrian not been fit to return to the cockpit after his Imola accident. Volker Weidler was eighth in the Rial, also one of his better performances of the season despite having gearing problems. Next were the two Zakspeeds of Bernd Schneider and Aguri Suzuki, and the other Osella, driven by Piercarlo Ghinzani. Ghinzani was excluded anyway after ignoring a weight check signal. At the bottom of the time sheets were Joachim Winkelhock in the AGS, and lastly Pierre-Henri Raphanel, who did not post a representative lap time in the Coloni FC188B after his strong performance in the last race at Monaco. Coloni had only brought three mechanics and one car for both Raphanel and Roberto Moreno, while waiting for their new C3 to be built, making a token effort to qualify in order to comply with the regulations and avoid a fine.

Qualifying

Boutsen took pole ahead of Nannini and Herbert with both McLaren's starting 8th and 13th. Capelli qualifed surprisingly in 4th whilst Berger who was back from injury qualified 6th ahead of Alboreto in 7th. Moreno, Dalmas, Gugelmin and Perez-sala all failed to qualify.

Race
1990 European Grand Prix

1990 European Grand Prix

The 1990 European Grand Prix is the 16th race of the 1990 F1 Season. It was won by Nigel Mansell with Moreno 2nd and Alesi 3rd.

Pre-Race

Before the race, Brabham announced that they would use Yamaha engines for 1991, while Footwork announced a Porsche engine deal for 1991 and retained both their 1990 drivers, Alex Caffi and Michele Alboreto. Prior to the race, the Life Racing Engines and EuroBrun teams withdrew from the sport. EuroBrun's Roberto Moreno joined the Benetton team replacing the previous year's race winner Alessandro Nannini, who was unable to attend the race following a helicopter crash that also ended his Formula One career, one week after the Spanish Grand Prix.

Pre-Qualifying

Both Ligier's were again on top with Larini ahead of Alliot whilst Gachot and Dalmas joined them in third and fourth. Missing the cut was Tarquini (who failed to set a time after crashing heavily at the Castrol-S) and Grouillard.

Qualifying

Senna took a much deserved pole ahead of Mansell and Prost. Berger started 7th behind both Williams and Piquet who were mixed between each other. All 4 pre-qualifiers made the grid with both Ligier's 14th and 17th, Dalmas 20th and Gachot 25th. Both Onyx's, Brabham and Gugelmin all failed to qualify.

1981 Canadian Grand Prix

1981 Canadian Grand Prix

The 1981 Canadian Grand Prix is the 14th race of the 1981 F1 Season. It was won by Nelson Piquet with Villenueve 2nd and Arnoux 3rd.

Pre-Race

Prior to the race, Alan Jones announced that he was retiring from the sport after clinching the title the previous year. Rumors were also spreading around in paddock that Niki Lauda had tested for McLaren at Donington Park and that he was planning a comeback. Strohr was already haunted by the trauma of nearly killing mechanic Dave Luckett in Belgium earlier in the season, he ultimately decided to stop racing and start a successful motor racing academy. he was replaced by Jacques Villenueve Sr.

Qualifying

Arnoux took pole with Reutemann 2nd and Piquet 3rd. Gabbiani, Warwick, Villeneuve (jacques), Henton, Serra and Rosberg all failed to qualify.

Race

The race start was marred with bad weather. Immediately after the start, Piquet took the lead after a minor collision with Reutemann which left Reutemann behind. Toward the middle of the pack, Jones and Pironi had a collision which resulted in Jones spinning out of the race. On lap 7, Reutemann spun and Piquet had to take evasive action, resulting in both drivers dropping down the pecking order. Arnoux took the lead with Laffite, who had climbed from tenth, second.Arnoux's lead did not last long, as Laffite overtook him on lap 13, and kept the lead until his engine failed with 5 laps to go giving it back to Piquet.

Villeneuve had a minor accident that damaged his front wing. The wing flew up only to be stuck up in the air, blocking Villeneuve's race-line vision. With his forward vision impaired, he used his peripheral vision to navigate using the yellow track markers as reference. After racing this way for minutes he used vibration on the ribbed curbing, to the point it flew off the car. This way he managed to keep control until the end of the race, without a front wing and under the rain.

Mansell pitted for slicks, convinced the weather would turn. It did not. Within minutes he spun, heavily damaging his rear wing, and was pushed by marshals back onto the circuit. Driving slowly toward the L'Epingle at the northern end, he placed his JPS Lotus in the middle of the track but slowly edging to his left onto the racing line, at the braking area. Prost, on the racing line and much faster, tried unsuccessfully to avoid colliding but could not. Mansell retiring soon after and Prost lasting a few more laps.[*citation needed*]

Prost was eventually overtaken by Villeneuve and Arnoux, before retiring with an accident on lap 17. Arnoux was able to catch and pass Villeneuve a few laps later and the two finished second and third respectively, with Villeneuve clinching his third and last podium of the year on home soil. Pironi came home fourth, with Watson coming in behind him.

1985 Belgian Grand Prix

1985 Belgian Grand Prix

The 1985 Belgian Grand Prix is the 13th race of the 1985 F1 Season. It was won by Nigel Mansell with Prost 2nd and Senna 3rd.

Pre-Race

Missing from the grid was an injured Niki Lauda. At the end of Friday's practice session before qualifying proper, his McLaren MP4/2B's throttle struck open while he was only touring back to the pits. The car slid off the track on the newer section of track and the three time and defending World Champion hit a guardrail and on impact the steering wheel whipped around wrenching his wrist as it did so. X-rays revealed no break but Lauda was not fit to race so he returned home to Austria for further inspection and treatment from his physical therapist Willi Dungl. McLaren initially hoped to put John Watson in Lauda's car but this would have required the approval of all other teams. Mindful of the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari refused to agree, leaving Alain Prost as McLaren's only driver in Belgium. RAM was also down to one car, only bringing a single RAM 03 for Philippe Alliot and the 1985 Formula 3000 champion Christian Danner made his world championship debut with Zakspeed.

Qualifying

Alboreto took pole ahead of Mansell and Johansson.

Race
1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix

1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix

The 1982 Caesars Palace Grandf Prix is the 16th and final race of the 1982 F1 Season. It was won by Michele Alboreto with Rosberg 2nd and Watson 3rd.

Pre-Race

This was the last F1 race for 1978 World Champion Mario Andretti. It was also the last race for the Ensign and Fittipaldi teams, the last for March until 1987, and the last for Matra as an engine supplier.

Qualifiying

Prost took pole with Piquet 2nd and Lauda 3rd. Serra, Salazar, Borgudd, Fabi and Byrne all failed to qualify.

Race

Prost led from the pole, followed by teammate Piquet. Cheever, from the fourth spot on the grid, was determined to get around the outside of Alboreto on the first left-hander. They touched wheels, but both continued with Alboreto still in front, Cheever's Ligier sporting a vibrating front wheel and the Tyrrell of Alboreto bearing a tire mark on the right sidepod.

For the first ten laps, Prost steadily pulled away from Alboreto, with Piquet down in 4th. Lauda began to match Arnoux's times, however, and then to close on him, as Lauda took the lead on lap 12. Speculation of a problem with Arnoux's car proved true, as the Renault was faltering, and he retired on lap 13.

Watson, meanwhile, had dropped to twelfth in the opening laps, but passed Piquet on lap 12, then Rosberg, Andretti and Cheever on successive laps, eventually reaching third place, with a thirty-second gap to the two leaders. However, when Andretti, hoping to help clinch the Constructors' title for Ferrari, slid off directly in front of Rosberg on lap 17 with a broken rear suspension link, Rosberg took over the fifth place he sought.

Among the leaders, Alboreto began inching closer to Prost again, and Watson continued to close on both of them. Lauda retired on lap 21, while Alboreto had eliminated the gap to Prost, and gotten by him to take the lead in a Grand Prix for the first time. Prost's tires were picking up rubber and had developed a vibration. In four more laps, Rosberg and Watson had also caught and passed him, but both were having the same problem as Prost, and so could make no progress on Alboreto.

Alboreto cruised to a comfortable victory, his first ever and the first for Tyrrell in four years.
1992 Mexican Grand Prix

1992 Mexican Grand Prix

The 1992 Mexican Grand Prix is the 2nd race of 1992 F1 Season held at the Hermanos Rodriguez Circuit. It was won by Ayrton Senna with Schumahcer finishing 2nd and Brundle 3rd.

Pre-Race

On 20 February 1992 Mexico city officials put out a smog alert due to the dangerous air pollution levels in the city. Alerts mandated restrictions on operating heavy motorized equipment. The Mexican Grand Prix committee had to delay work paving sections of the track.

Qualifying

Senna took pole this time with Schumacher joining him on the front row; the second row would be filled by Alesi's Ferrari and Brundle's Benetton. Row 3 was filled by Modena and Boutsen Row 4 was filled by Hakkinen and Katayama whilst Grouillard and Fittipaldi rounded out the top 10. Both Williams started 16th and 17th whilst Berger could only start 14th and Capelli 20th. The four non-qualifers were Tyrrell's Andrea De Cesaris, both Brabhams of Eric Van De Poele and Giovanna Amati as well as Paul Belmondo.

Race

At the start Senna led ahead of Brundle and Schumahcer whilst Capelli and Wedlinger collided ending both of their races. Gugelmins race was also over after his engine failed at the start. At the end of lap 1 Senna led from Brundle, Schumacher, Alesi, Boutsen and Hakkinen. Senna continued to lead until the every end of the race winning his second race in a row ahead of Schumahcer and Brundle.

1990 Spanish Grand Prix

The 1990 Spanish Grand Prix is the 15th race of the 1990 F1 Season. It was won by Nelson Piquet with Nakajima 2nd and Mansell 3rd.

Pre-Qualifying

In the Friday morning pre-qualifying session, the same four drivers went through to the main qualifying sessions as had progressed in the previous three events. This time it was Yannick Dalmas who topped the time sheets in his AGS, the first time he had done so this season. Gabriele Tarquini made it an AGS 1–2, just over a tenth of a second behind. They were joined by both Liger's in third and fourth with Alliot ahead of Larini.

In fifth place, Roberto Moreno missed the cut by just 0.018 of a second in the EuroBrun, with Claudio Langes just over a second behind in sixth. Langes' gap to Larini of 1.133 seconds represented the closest the Italian had come all season to successfully pre-qualifying, as he had failed to pre-qualify for all 14 races so far this season. This proved to be his last opportunity, as EuroBrun withdrew from Formula One after this event. It was also the last event for the hapless Life team, who also withdrew from the sport after this weekend. Bruno Giacomelli managed two laps in the L190 before it stopped out on the circuit, the switch to the Judd engine apparently not providing much improvement. The car had never come within 12 seconds of pre-qualifying successfully at any of its 14 events. They were joined by Grouillard and Gachot in seventh and eighth. The absence of EuroBrun and Life at the last two Grands Prix of the season avoided the need for pre-qualifying at those events.

Qualifying

Prost took pole ahead of Senna and Mansell. However it was marred by a serious incident, when Martin Donnelly crashed his Lotus at the high-speed Turn 14. Donnelly was thrown from the wreckage, suffering serious injuries that ended his Formula One career. Foitek, Schneider (who replaced Caffi after his injury in Estoril), Barilla and Brabham all failed to qualify.

Race
1984 Italian Grand Prix

1984 Italian Grand Prix

The 1984 Italian Grand Prix is the 14th race of the 1984 F1 Season. It was won by Alain Prost with both Renault's 2nd and 3rd.

Pre-Race

In the fortnight between the Dutch and Italian Grands Prix, the Tyrrell team surpsrisingly ditched Johansson and replaced with Roberto Moreno.

Meanwhile, the Toleman team had suspended Ayrton Senna for not informing them of his signing for Lotus for 1985 before the deal was announced at Zandvoort. Stefan Johansson was drafted in to replace the Brazilian at Monza; he would be joined by newcomer Pierluigi Martini.

Qualifiying

Piquet took pole with Mansell and De Angelis. Pierluigi Martini failed to qualify.

Race

Manfred Winkelhock, who had qualified 22nd in his ATS, suffered a gearbox failure on the formation lap for the second time in three races. Frustrated, he subsequently quit the team.

At the start, de Angelis passed Mansell and Piquet, though the Brabham driver retook the lead into the first chicane. Tambay also made a fast start to run fourth, while Lauda fell to seventh behind Mansell and Fabi. While Piquet set about building a lead, Mansell and Tambay overtook de Angelis, only for De Angelis' engine to fail on the fourth lap. In the meantime, Fabi and Lauda passed both Ferraris, and were thus up to third and fourth.

On lap 8, Fabi spun at the Roggia chicane, dropping to eighth; a charge put him back up to fourth by lap 12. By this point, Michele Alboreto in the Ferrari had also passed both De Angelis and was now fifth. While this was going on, a high attrition rate was building: the second Ferrari of René Arnoux suffered a gearbox failure on lap 6, while the two Ligiers of Andrea de Cesaris and François Hesnault dropped out on lap 8, followed shortly afterwards by the two Williams of Rosberg and Jacques Laffite. By lap 15 Lauda had also retired.

Piquet continued to lead from Tambay, both clear of Prost. On lap 16, Piquet's engine stalled; at around the same time Fabi, continuing his charge, overtook Prost to run second. Fabi then started to catch up to Tambay and by half-distance was on the Renault's tail, with Prost keeping close behind; all three were clear of Alboreto, with Derek Warwick in the second Renault up to fifth and Cheever sixth. On lap 32, Alboreto suffered an oil pressure problem, moving Johansson into the top six.

On lap 19, Prost overtook Fabi at the Parabolica, before passing Tambay for the lead at the Roggia three laps later. Then, on lap 23, Fabi and Alboreto suffered engine and throttle failures respectively. This left Prost with a lead of 20 seconds over Warwick, with Cheever up to third followed by Piquet, Tambay and the Osella of Piercarlo Ghinzani. On lap 24 Cheever ran out of fuel, followed three laps later by Ghinzani; meanwhile, Tambay passed Piquet for third. At the chequered flag, only Prost and Warwick were on the lead lap, with Patrese one lap behind his teammate and Piquet a further lap back. Completing the top six were Mansell and Keke Rosberg.

Rosberg would get behind Alboreto before a bump on the rear wheel would see him go to the outside of the turn and off the racing line. This incident would end his race a few laps later with body damage issues.

Pre-Qualifying

Onyx returned to the top of the Friday morning time sheets as Stefan Johansson was fastest by half a second. His new team-mate was Finnish driver JJ Lehto, who had replaced Bertrand Gachot since the last race, after Gachot openly criticised the team and was fired. In his first Formula One event, Lehto just missed out on pre-qualification after a suspension failure during the session, leaving him fifth. The Larrousse-Lola cars both pre-qualified again, with Philippe Alliot second and Michele Alboreto fourth. The other driver to go through to the main qualifying sessions was Roberto Moreno in third place in the Coloni.

Yannick Dalmas had originally pre-qualified in third place in his AGS, but was excluded from the session and his times were deleted, after mistakenly using the wrong tyres. Also excluded was Osella driver Nicola Larini, for missing a weight check, although he had already failed to pre-qualify, being only ninth fastest.

The other drivers who failed to proceed any further included the other Osella of Piercarlo Ghinzani, who outpaced his team-mate in sixth, and Oscar Larrauri, despite an improvement to seventh in the EuroBrun. Eighth was Gabriele Tarquini in the other AGS, ahead of the Zakspeeds of Aguri Suzuki and Bernd Schneider. Slowest by nearly four seconds was the second Coloni of Enrico Bertaggia, the third time in a row the Italian had been bottom of the time sheets.

Scheckter went again but Lauda was determined and refused to give position as Ribiero touched Fittpaldi and karma struck as he crashed into the wall and out of the race. Scheckter went into the inside again and was third time lucky and took the lead his brother meanwhile made life difficult as he collided with Fittpaldi and Pace and took the latter out of the race. Scheckter leads from Lauda, Andretti, Nilsson, Reutemann and Hunt but Lauda suffers brake failure and is out of the race. Nilsson takes second from his teammate as Scheckter goes in the pits and drops down into third as Andretti wins ahead of Mass, Scheckter, Nilsson, Watson and Jarier.

Prost's advantage over Arnoux lasted only a few corners before the Frenchman re-passed him. On lap 2, Patrick Tambay punctured the right rear tyre on his Ferrari, Michele Alboreto crashed his Tyrrell at the Bosch Kurve, Arnoux took the lead from Piquet and the Frenchman immediately began to pull away on his half-full tanks.

Shortly before half distance, Piquet made the first planned mid-race fuel and tyre pit stop in modern F1 history. He rejoined in fourth place, behind Prost and Elio de Angelis, and just ahead of Keke Rosberg. Shortly afterwards, Arnoux made his stop, having built up a sufficient lead to rejoin the race still in first place. However, the Frenchman suffered an engine failure three laps later, leaving Prost to inherit a comfortable lead from de Angelis.

Piquet was back up to third but was now in trouble, unable to make any inroads into the leaders and struggling to stay ahead of Rosberg. On lap 15, the Brazilian retired with an electrical failure. Free of the Brabham, Rosberg began closing in on de Angelis, who at this point was ten seconds ahead.

Prost joyfully celebrated victory, while Rosberg had nonetheless boosted his Driver's Championship chances. Tambay finished third , while De Angelis was fourth was fourth in the Lotus, having recovered from a puncture early in the race. his teammate Mansell was fifth, with Laudataking the final point in his McLaren.

1986 Detroit Grand Prix

1986 Detroit Grand Prix

The 1986 Detroit Grand is the 7th race of the 1986 F1 Season. It was won by Ayrton Senna with Mansell 2nd and Prost 3rd.

Pre-Race

American Eddie Cheever, in his only F1 race of the season, was taking Patrick Tambay's seat in the Carl Haas Lola, as Tambay had not fully recovered from his Montreal injuries. Haas had attempted to get the legendary Mario Andretti, but, apparently because of a FISA-CART feud, Andretti's application for an FIA Super Licence was denied (allegedly Haas then tried for Michael Andretti on Mario's suggestion but his bid for the license was also denied).

Qualifying

Mansell took pole ahead of Berger and Senna.

Race

At the start, Senna led Mansell into the first corner, and René Arnoux's Ligier-Renault jumped ahead of Gerhard Berger.

Beginning lap 3, Senna missed a gear entering Turn One, and Mansell's Williams shot by into the lead.

By the end of lap 5, Mansell's lead was 4.3 seconds, but that was as big as it got. His rear brake pads were too cool and had become glazed, and Senna was able to draw back up to him. By lap seven, he was right on his gearbox, and on lap 8, he retook the lead.

Senna immediately began to draw away, while Mansell slipped back through the field. On lap 14, with a 6.5 second lead, Senna suddenly ducked into the pits with a slowly deflating right rear tire. Despite a quick change, he re-entered in eighth place, twenty seconds behind the new leader, René Arnoux.

Arnoux held the lead for just three laps before having to pit for new rubber. His Ligier teammate Jacques Laffite, running with harder compound Pirelli rear tires, moved to the top of the score sheet. At age 42, it was Laffite's first time to lead a race in more than three years, and the last time in his career.

After his stop on lap 14, Senna had begun to carve his way back to the front, overtaking, not back markers, but the best drivers of the era. He passed the struggling Ferraris of Michele Alboreto on lap 15, and Stefan Johansson on lap 17. He then passed Arnoux when he made his tire stop on lap 18, Prost's McLaren-TAG on lap 19, and Mansell on lap 21. Senna came home 30 seconds in front for his first victory in the United States, and the only American win for the Renault.
1977 German Grand Prix

1977 German Grand Prix

The 1977 German Grand Prix is the 11th race of the 1977 Formula One Season. It was won by Niki Lauda with Scheckter 2nd and Mass 3rd.

Pre-Race

The German Grand Prix was moved to Hockenheim following Niki Lauda's accident at the Nürburgring in 1976. This was the second time the race was held at Hockenheim, the first being in 1970.

Qualifying

Scheckter took pole ahead of Andretti in 2nd and Reutemann 3rd, Lauda started 6th whilst Hunt qualified 20th. Pilette, Merzario, Heyer, De vilota, neve and two-time champion Fittipaldi failed to qualify.

Race

The start of the race was given by a green flag due to red/green lights being damaged by a service vehicle, which as a result caused an accident near the back of the grid between Alan Jones and Clay Regazzoni (putting both drivers out on the spot). Scheckter kept the lead at the first corner with both Andretti and Reutemann keeping their positions. Watson put pressure on Reutemann until his engine failed on the 2nd lap, giving 4th to Lauda who passed his teammate and Andretti soon after and began to chase Scheckter. Andretti battled for third with James Hunt until the defending champion retired with an engine failure which was caused by a broken fuel pump on lap 12, thus giving third to home driver Jochen Mass. Lauda preceded to pass Scheckter and That was how it stayed to the end; Lauda winning from Scheckter and Mass, whilst the rest of the points were rounded-out with Lauda's teammate Carlos Reutemann, Patrick Depailler in the Tyrrell and Patrick Tambay in the Ensign. This was the 100th World Championship race victory for tyre manufacturer Goodyear.

During the race, Penske driver Hans Heyer participated despite not qualifying. Mechanical issues forced Heyer to retire on lap 9, which caused his participation to be discovered. He was disqualified, making him the only driver to not qualify, not finish and be disqualified in a single race.
1984 Austrian Grand Prix

1984 Austrian Grand Prix

Pre-Race

Gerhard Begrer made his debut with ATS whilst Jo Gartner returned for the Austrian Grand Prix.

Qualifying

Lauda took pole ahead of Piquet and Mansell. Both Tyrrell's both failed to qualify.

Race

The race had to be stopped soon after the first start, due to a problem with the starting lights which caused chaos among the drivers with Niki Lauda claiming that he saw "Red, green, yellow then red again". This caused 8th fastest qualifier Elio de Angelis to hesitate badly off the line and his Lotus-Renault was almost hit from behind by several cars and saw the Toleman-Hart of Ayrton Senna in 4th place by the time they reached Hella-Licht after starting 10th. On the formation lap for the re-start, 2nd place Piquet, who had seen the McLarens change tyres on the grid, angered the other drivers when he led the field on an extremely slow lap in an effort to not allow Prost or Lauda to scrub in their new Michelin rubber.

Alain Prost, Lauda's team mate failed to finish after spinning off on oil at the Jochen Rindt Curve on lap 13, that came from the Lotus of Elio de Angelis when his Renault engine failed moments before Prost retired. Prost had been running a close second behind Arnoux at the time of his spin. Arnoux came upon the oil of de Angelis first and managed to keep his car from sliding off despite a twitch on the oil. Prost however was having gear selection problems and hit the oil with one hand on his steering wheel and the other on his gear lever, spinning off into retirement. Lauda moved into second and then passed Arnoux for the lead, the Brazilian suffering tyre trouble. Despite a brief gearbox problem, Lauda went on to win his home race by 23 seconds.
