Carlo Chiti & Bruno Giacomelli

Alfa Romeo returned to Formula 1 between 1979 to 1985, but did not succeed to win a Grand Prix. Under the leadership of Carlo Chiti, the team came very close to glory, when at the 1980 US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, Bruno Giacomelli lead the race convincingly and should have won, but was forced to retire with electrical problems.

Carlo Chiti (19 December 1924 – 7 July 1994) was an Italian racing car and engine designer best known for his long association with Alfa Romeo‘s racing department. He also worked for Ferrari and was involved in the design of the Ferrari 156 Sharknose car, with which Phil Hill won the 1961 championship.
