Thanks for clarifying; I trusted (or assumed) this was understood, that it was a vast respect for the other's driving prowess. But - yes, I can see some who are not too familiar with the men might read it otherwise.

The only Australian driver I can find who drove for BRM in the late 1970's is Larry Perkins, but he entered a Surtees in 3 races in 1977 after driving with BRM. He failed to qualify for two of those.
Does my source need updating??? _________________ Red Bull - Gives you Championships. |

Hmmm, poorly worded in hindsight.
Reword to last started a GP and it makes sense.
Anyway Karlos......Larry Perkins is spot on. It's all yours. _________________ "This is an interesting circuit because it has inclines, and not just up, but down as well." Murray Walker |

because of the 107% qulifying rule, Rosset recorded 1:41.416 and Sospiri did a 1:44.286. Jacques Villeneuve in the Williams did 1:28.594, some 13 seconds faster than Rosset and almost 16 seconds over Sospiri. Diniz also went over the 107% but not by so much & he was alowed to race
