GERHARD BERGER BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
Gerhard Berger, born August 27, 1959, is a popular Austrian Grand Prix racing driver. With 210 Grand Prix starts to his name, Berger has driven more Formula One races than anyone except Riccardo Patrese.
Berger, a multiple race winner in European Formula Three, moved up to Formula One in 1984 driving for the ATS team. A full season for Arrows followed in 1985, but it was not until joining Benetton-BMW in 1986 that his F1 career took off. Exploiting the exceptional power of the BMW trubo engine, Berger won his first Grand Prix in Mexico, and was snapped up by Ferrari for 1987, the first of 2 spells he had with the team.
After mechanical failures robbed him of the chance to perform, Berger came on strongly in 1987, winning the final two rounds of the season, going into 1988 as a Championship favourite. Sadly for Berger, the McLaren team of Prost and Senna dominated the season, winning 15 of the 16 rounds. Berger was the only driver to break the McLaren stranglehold, winning the Italian Grand Prix after Senna tangled with a slower car. This was a particularly poignant victory for the team, as it came just weeks after the death of Enzo Ferrari. |
