THE BOYCOTT ENDS THE WAR! The Story of the 1982 San Marino Grand Prix Boycott
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- The 1982 season has to be the most politically crazy season in F1 history. The FISA-FOCA war was really coming to a head with the drivers' strike in South Africa and all the FOCA teams then trying to organise a boycott of the San Marino Grand Prix to make it non-championship and embarrass the sport.
And while FOCA didn't get their wish of a non-championship round, it sent the right message. Balestre eased up a bit, and the 1987 Concorde agreement set the stage for everyone to make money.

I worked for Osella in 83 for the North American races. It was common knowledge that Ferrari bribed Enzo Osella in 82 to race, with a deal that ended up with Osella getting Alfa motors for 1983. Basically, Osella wasn't getting anything from FOCA and was headed to FISA anyway. I spent three races with Ermanno Coughi, the coolest mechanic in F1 who didn't know he was Ermanno Coughi. He worked for Porsche at Lemans, was Lauda's mechanic at Ferrari and moved with Lauda to Alfa Brabham. In 83, he was loaned to Osella.
I would love your take on the 1969 Talladega 500 boycott. There is so much drama and side-storys regarding this race it isn't funny... a new track that wasn't quite ready, the debut of the legendary Dodge Charger Daytona, NASCAR just touching 200mph for first time, tire failures after only a few laps, Big Bill France possibly getting punched in face... and taking some 185mph laps HIMSELF during practice to prove the track was safe! And there's even more then all this!
1:30 Yes, he was a hero in Brazil. About the fireworks on the day he died? Those were totally unrelated. It was, uh, "Fireworks Day". Nothing to do with his death really...
I remember first hearing about that race in the Official F1 Encyclopedia 2000. So many different stories about it that it could be called a can of worms. Not only with the (still discussed) controversy surrounding Didier Pironi, Gilles Villeneuve and Ferrari, but the showdown between FISA and FOCA. Given what happened to Indycar in 1996, the dispute between F1 and the Governing Body of the sport could have left the sport divided against itself and leaving it weaker as a whole
Aidan, I'm curious to know what happened to your 1955 Le Mans Disaster video. Was it taken down?
I guess someone found it disturbing!😢
Quite a few were taken down en masse a while back for copyright strikes
Pretty sure it got booted in the copyright strikes.
Found it , it's just delisted
Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/C6Vt8gpGkkw/v-deo.html
Yeah youtube allows anyone to do a dmca making Aidan fight it. So most small channels just give up the fight. Its pretty pathetic really as fair use IS A LAW but youtube/google dont seem to care
Loved the original video where you referenced this, Colin Chapman and Frank Williams going "cheeky Nandos on me"
That was for ground effect.
You can take Frank out of South Shields, but you can't take South Shields out of Frank.

If you made any of these videos, I can see myself joining your patreon.
Leading up to the San Marino GP there was one more notable disqualification - at the Long Beach GP the Ferrari of Gilles Villeneuve (finished 3rd) was disqualified after a protest from Ken Tyrrell about the rear wing of his Ferrari 126C2. It is believed that the reason that Ferrari's disqualification was a 'tit for tat' move from FOCA for the disqualifications of Piquet and Rosberg in Rio, which were upheld in-between the rounds at Long Beach and Imola.
It's great getting all my vague memories "refitted", as it were. I can remember there being fights over this, that and t'other, but not all the details are still rattling around.
Much as the poison dwarf has always irritated me, there were times when I had to give him some credit. One of those things was making himself inordinately rich because the other team managers were too short-sighted and/or lazy to pitch in with the "new" F1 management, TV rights and so on. He did offer... 🤷🏻♀️
Bernie was just smarter than the other owners. Ron Dennis hated Bernie because Bernie made him look a fool more than once.
@@marklittle8805 and Bernie hated Dennis because Dennis asked questions.
@@marklittle8805 That wasn't difficult!
@@AidanMillward oh he did. But I read a book about Bernie and he basically saw Ron as someone who was quick to criticise Bernie for greed but Bernie always offered Ron to buy in or invest in ideas and Ron would always turn down Bernie because he would be risk adverse...
Some people get rich because they are willing to put their nuts on the line.
I think Bernie is a little greedy sod for a whole host of reasons, but Ron to me was always someone who was critical and would never admit someone else was right. Bernie did make the FOCA guys rich....
Still waiting for the day the mad monk of silverstone gets his own video
Thanks Aidan, great storytelling as usual. I'm wondering, if the Spanish race was awarded points, would it have made any difference to the Championship?
And, the next race, during qualifying, maybe the most pure talent driver ever died...
That was a great duel between the Ferraris. There was something like 9 overtakes between them.
All staged for the tifosi apart from the guy who wasn't supposed to win!
Loving the videos from this era 👌
I think you'll find it's 'Alvin, Simon and Theodore'.
That gag crossed my mind when I was writing it 🤣
Seems like F1 is on course for a 40th anniversary re-run.
How so?
@@zanemurcha9742 My only guess is fighting between the FIA and the teams/drivers. I don't see any drivers kicking the bucket this year, the title leader having a career ending injury or a random single race winner getting the title, thankfully. Man 1982 was a weird and sad season.
"awwww shit here we go again" 10/10, i liked it.
Aidan can you make some videos about Moto GP and other motorcycle series. It would be very exciting.
People keep asking but I have no interest in bikes at all.
Thanks a lot mate... Being quite annoyed after shit at work, you brought a good relief... Better than ale. ;)
awesome video
The having just enough start with one not making it to the grid/much on there first lap would piss of the leader of FISA and F1 at the time more then a non championship race as everyone gets points in this race.
7:10 was that ats sponsored by ABBA???
Because the driver, Slim Borgudd, was ABBA's drummer and bought a drive with ATS
Looking at the stats....if the race hadn't have counted for the championship, McLaren would have won the constructors title instead of Ferrari, worth a lot of money even then. Had they shown and gotten a decent result, they could also have won it. Another FISA-faction-favoured....
Are you going to the Bri’ish Grawn Pre this weekend, Aiden?
And then they got Ken back in the 84 season....
I'd completely forgotten about that ABBA sponsored ATS Lola. Brought back to me that it was their drummer who piloted it.
Memory and old age is a bastard.
IIRC it wasn't really sponsorship, they never gave him any money, it was an attempt to get other people to sponsor him by association
Imola? Never heard of her.
What I want to know is: What was Alton Brown doing in that photo of Balestre?
What are your thoughts on Piquet ?
We may all not like politics in general, but my god isn't sport politics exciting especially when you have figures such as the Max and Bernie show, emperor Jean Marie Balestre and the down trodden, the teams. Please forward film/ TV script to this address. Thank you.
Wet Left Wet.
Are they a cover band?
Just wanted to be the 1st to comment
The Story is of the 1982 San Marino Grand Prix Boycott and you use modern fucked up F1 shait in the background?
One of my favorite books is _Chasing the Title_ by Nigel Roebuck. His narrative of the 1982 season is some of the best sports writing by anyone. Thanks for your fine take on a pivotal part of that dramatic season.
7:14 How easily we forget when ABBA sponsored their old drummer Slim Borgudd in the pinnacle of motorsport.
