Carlos Alberto Reutemann (12 April 1942 - 7 July 2021) was an Argentine Formula 1 driver who raced from 1972 to 1982. He drove for Brabham, Ferrari, Lotus and Williams. His Formula 1 numbers: 146 Grands Prix, 12 wins, 6 pole positions, 6 fastest laps, 45 podiums and 310 points. His best Championship finish was 2nd place in 1981. At the 1978 Brazilian Grand Prix, Reutemann was responsible for the first victory at the Jacarepaguá racetrack in Rio de Janeiro, which was also the first win for Michelin tires in the category. During the 1981 Brazilian Grand Prix, race leader Reutemann received team orders from Williams to give up his position to his teammate Alan Jones, who was in 2nd place. Reutemann ignored the request and went on to win, with Jones finishing second. Furious with Reutemann's attitude, Jones skipped the podium. After his racing career, Carlos Reutemann went on to pursue a political career.
