1981 - Jacarepagua - 1st Lap Confusion - BBC Version

Description can be seen here:

"Prost made a bad start and this caused the fast-starting Villeneuve to have to lift off. Andretti hit the rear of Villeneuve and went over the Ferrari. Behind them Arnoux, Eddie Cheever, Stohr and Chico Serra were all involved. At the front Reutemann went into the lead with Jones, Patrese, Giacomelli, de Angelis and the rest in pursuit. In the early laps de Angelis overtook Giacomelli to take fourth place and when Giacomelli spun off fifth place went to Keke Rosberg's Fittipaldi."

Reutemann won which angered his team, he lost the championship but Jones would have won it had they have swapped places. Jones failed to go on the podium after this race lmao!

@Fabregasanddagunners Actually the 3 extra points for the win would have left him on 49, one behind piquet on 50

@Fabregasanddagunners es una estupidez tu comentario, el equipo no apoyó a Reutemann y perdió el campeonato en la ultima carrera por un punto contra Piquet, le pusieron una caja de direccion dañada, no les importaba el título a Williams, el error de Reutemann sue correr con Williams, debería haberse quedado en Ferrari, donde hizo un trabajo excelente con las cubiertas Michelin, si hubiese esperado sería varias veces campeón. Aún hoy no sabemos para que lo contrató el tonto de Frank Williams.
