The F1 Grand Prix Journey

1981

The 1981 Formula 1 World Championship is a thrilling and highly competitive season. Nelson Piquet, driving for the Brabham team, wins his first World Championship title, despite the challenges of a fiercely contested field. Piquet's consistency, along with the reliability of the Cosworth DFV engine in the Brabham BT49, helps him secure critical podium finishes and a couple of race wins, notably in San Marino and German. The season is marked by intense battles, with Carlos Reutemann (Williams) and Alan Jones (Williams) both pushing for the title.
