F1 1976 Season __top__ May 2026

– Infamy. Rain, red flags, chaos. Hunt initially disqualified after a first-lap pile-up, then reinstated on appeal after he rejoined in a spare car. He wins at home. Ferrari walks out in protest. The FIA later voids the British GP result entirely — no points for anyone. Lauda calls it a “circus.”

– Unexpected: local hero Jody Scheckter (Tyrrell) wins on a six-wheeled P34. Hunt 2nd, Lauda 3rd. f1 1976 season

– Hunt wins his first of the season after Lauda’s engine fails. The rivalry ignites. – Infamy

– Hunt wins. Lauda 2nd. The gap stays tight. He wins at home

– Lauda wins in wet conditions. Hunt crashes out from the lead. Perfection vs. risk.

– Hunt wins again. Lauda, suffering from headaches and lung damage, finishes 3rd. Incredible.
