Description, History, Facts and
Figures
|
Brazil can be proud of its Formula 1
history, with no less than eight world
championships in the record books. Despite
being a long way from the European heartland
of the sport, Brazilian business and industry
has seen the value of promoting itself through
motor sport and has supported young drivers in
the junior formulae in the European arena. F1
declined in popularity after the death of
Ayrton Senna but has picked up as Rubens
Barrichello and Pedro Diniz have become the
focus of patriotic attention.
Just three drivers have won those eight
championships between them: Emerson Fittipaldi
was the first to be crowned, back in 1972. He
did it again two years later. Nelson Piquet
took three titles as did the late Ayrton
Senna.
Brazilian drivers have won their home race on
seven occasions: Senna, Fittipaldi and Piquet
did it twice each. Carlos Pace, whom the Sao
Paulo track is named after won in 1975, two
years before meeting his death in an air
crash. But they are all a long way off
Frenchman Alain Prost's record of six
Brazilian wins.
Brazil's Roberto Moreno, who drove for
Benetton in 1990 and '91 was known by the
anagram of his name - Robert E. Moron! His
best ever result came in the 1990 Japanese
Grand Prix, when he completed a
Benetton-Brazilian 1-2 behind Nelson Piquet.
There has only ever been one Brazilian grand
prix team and it ran from 1975 to 1979 under
the name of "Copersucar," a
Brazilian sugar marketing operation. Emerson
Fittipaldi left McLaren to join the Sao
Paulo-based team, which was set up by his
brother and occasional F1 pilot, Wilson
Fittipaldi. Did Emo regret it? "I spent
some of the worst years of my life in those
abominable yellow cars.
It was the biggest mistake of my life!"
Despite the big bucks from the sugar industry
the cars were never sweet and their departure
certainly did not leave a cavity big enough to
need filling. Emerson went on to build a new
career for himself, taking the Indy crown in
1989. Now retired, the man who put Brazil on
the F1 map, has many business interests,
including producing the Fittipaldi cigar
brand.
"Wealthy people can no longer live in an
island, surrounded by an ocean of poverty. We
all breathe the same air." This comment
from Ayrton Senna has been the guiding
principle behind the Foundation set up in the
late Brazilian champion's name. It is almost
five years since his death in the 1994 San
Marino Grand Prix. In July of that year, the
Senna Foundation was started under the
Presidency of Ayrton's sister, Viviane Senna
Lalli.
Two months before the accident which took his
life, Ayrton told his sister about his dream
to establish an action plan to help his
people, principally children and adolescents,
whom he felt to be the main victims of an
unfair economic system. Since then, the
Foundation has helped over 40,000 children,
considered at risk. The programmes supported
range from malnutrition and infant health care
to academic and occupational education as well
as sports and arts. Much of the funding comes
from sales of licensed goods and memorabilia. |
