Masters Degree: Rene Arnoux
In a special series of features, leading up to the Grand Prix Masters of Great Britain at Silverstone on August 13th, autosport.com talks to the driving masters themselves - about the old days, the new series and their love of motor racing. This week: Rene Arnoux on driving for Renault and Ferrari
Rene Arnoux's Formula One career was characterised by contrasting moments.
From being brave enough to disobey team orders and beat Renault teammate Alain Prost to win their home Grand Prix in France in 1982, to the pain of losing a victory after a superb drive at Detroit in '83 through no fault of his own.
There was the season he two won races for Ferrari to move himself into championship contention, only for his time with the Scuderia to end in acrimonious circumstances just one race into a new season.
