Motor racing's winter break has produced its usual crop of stories: Toleman's on-off season, Tyrrell's reinstatement, the Renault power struggle. But today, in Brazil, it's business as usual as 15 teams start out on an eight month long season.
A world-wide television audience of nearly 78 million will join Rio de Janeiro's excitable motor racing fans as some of the winter's questions start to be answered: can McLaren maintain their 1984 dominance, will Ayrton Senna live up to his reputation now that he's joined Lotus, and how will Brabham respond to the disappointment of last year? Murray Walker and James Hunt steer you round the 3.13 mile Jacarepagua course.
