03 STRONG SUIT With its new protective clothing standard, the FIA is making racewear safer, stronger and able to contend with the most challenging environments

TEXT / MARC CUTLER

At the  Punta Del Este E-Prix Audi driver Lucas Di Grassi was fined , and given three penalty points on his racing licence for not wearing the correct fireproof underwear. Some observers claimed that the penalty was harsh but Di Grassi immediately accepted it. “It was a mistake on my part,” he said at the time. “It was a decision that I took today because of the extreme heat and I ran out of underwear, and I didn’t think this would be an issue. But of course I must be aware that I should wear compliance [kit] during a race.” There is a reason Di Grassi didn’t protest the penalty when others around him did – he knows these rules are there for the safety of him and his fellow drivers.

06 MAXIMUM ATTACK

Mika Häkkinen channelled a near-death crash at the 1995 Australian Grand Prix into an all-or-nothing quest for Formula 1 world championship glory. All that stood in his way was a rival reckoned to be one of the greatest of all time. The ƒying Finn reveals how he beat Michael Schumacher and wrote his own legend…

Then, just as had happened with the Porsche † Ž, synchronicity played its part. In †Ž†, the FIA decided that four-wheel- drive cars would be eligible to compete in the World Rally Championship. Piëch, now head of technical development at Audi, decided that rather than implement a four-wheel-drive system on an existing model, a clean-sheet design was required. And so the Quattro, the first mass-produced all-wheel-drive car, was born. It was a prime example of Piëch’s belief that motor sport provided the perfect rapid prototyping playground. Enlisting rally star Hannu Mikkola to help with the project, Piëch told the future champion: “I can get an answer from you in three months. If I put it in development, it takes a year!” Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Quattro was launched at the †‰ Geneva Motor Show and made its debut on the world’s rally stages that same year. Within two years the car was sweeping all before it.
