3) In 1974 we had 1 of F1s Bizarre retirements. why did Tim scheken race come to end on lap 8
He had entered the race illegally
Quirk of the rules in 1974 allowed the DNQ drivers to participate on formation lap so if a car broke down still had a full grid. those cars if all was fine pulled into the pits before the start. but Schenken (on the orders of Chapman) lined up on grid. After a few laps the organisers realised there was too many cars & was DQ'd
