Re: Villeneuve and Pironi, death by ignoring orders/agreemen
I'm happy to let this continue as a Villeneuve/Pironi debate. I'm very surprised to hear that there was ever a suggestion that Gilles was on an in lap when the accident happened. He had gone out with brand new "stickered" quali tyres on and was going hugely faster than the car of Jochen Mass which ...

Re: A rounded review about the tyre situation (good and bad)
The whole philosophy is wrong, tyres shoudk be designed to last for a minimum of 90% of the race (so some drivers get a little advbantage for guile and tyrecraft but not the current situation).

Villenueve had set out to beat Pironi´s qualifying time but he WAS on an in lap but driving at higher than normal speed for an in lap when he chanced upon Jochen Mass. Was he hoping for another flying lap we will never know, if so was he motivated more so than usual by Pironi´s behaviour two week be...

Not sure what the OP means by a weak car. Keke Rosberg became WDC in 1982 in a Williams which only won one race .

The origins of the term pole position come from horse racing, in which the fastest qualifying horse would be placed on the inside part of the course, next to the pole.
