GRAND PRIX F1 - TYRELL O12 MICHELE ALBORETO 1983

THE NOVELTY FOR 1983 IN F1 WAS THE INTRODUCTION OF THE FLAT BOTTOMED DESIGN.  NEW REGULATIONS HAD REDUCED THE AERODYNAMIC SUPPORT OFFERED BY THE GROUND EFFECT AND TO COUNTERACT THIS TYRELL TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A NEW RULE WHICH ALLOWED THE REAR WING TO BE RAISED A FURTHER 10cm OFF THE GROUND. ALL THEY COULD DO NOW WAS TO WAIT AND SEE IF YOUNG MICHELE ALBORETO COULD OVERCOME HIS TURBO CHARGED RIVALS. HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT TO BE,THE INCREASED POWER OF THE TURBO CHARGED AGAINST THE COSWORTH DFY8 WAS TOO MUCH, AND THE ONLY VICTORY WAS IN DETROIT WHEN THE 012 EARNED  ALL THE POINTS GAINED THAT SEASON -12.
