[alfa] Alfa Romeo Brabham

["Dean" <tessiedog@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems as though nearly every post sparks some kind of debate so here is a
question which may provide some positive feedback.
I have just watched a DVD "Grand Prix The Golden Years" presented by John
Watson who drove for the Brabham Alfa. Through the years 1977, 1978 and 1979
these cars where quite competative. The DVD covers the years very quickly,
however has highlights like John Watsons poll position at Monaco, and Niki
Lauda's win at the 1978 Swedish GP in the "Fan Car" (Niki and John qualified
2nd and 3rd with full fuel loads as ordered by Bernie in an effort to hide the
cars speed). Remember Bernie had a large share invested in this team. Other
highlights include the Alfa being at the pointy end of the field and John
Watsons obvious like for the car when he talks about it.
I have lots of F1 books and lots of stats, but they are stats like most race
wins, ect, ect. You know all the things that Michael now owns.
Does anyone have information on every race the Brabham Alfa entered?
Ie: Driver, race date, event, qualifing position, race position, DNF's and
reason why, ect, ect.
Maybe there is a web sit dedicated to this.
Was it Patrick Depaillers death in a testing accident at Hockenheim in 1980
that caused Alfa to pull out of F1?
Positive feedback only please
Cheers,
Dean
