Patrese in the beginnings

The assets of Arrows will be sold now by a liquidator one to cover the costs, besides the substantial legal tariffs. The same Director of Equipment, Tom Walkinshaw, also is being persecuted by important payments of rent of motors from Cosworth, the ex--supplier of motors of Arrows.
Although the set of Walkinshaw already was in the loose cord for enough time, which determined its fall was when the Federation the International of the Automobile (IT TRUSTS) denied the entrance to them to the World-wide Championship of this year, which lead that the German investor, Germa'n Grand Prix Racing, annulled its agreement to buy an important part of action of the English equipment.

Warwick with the Megatron motor secured good results

It is important to remember that IT ENTRUSTS the tapeworm in the sight in Arrows, by not to have participated this one in last the five competitions of the previous season, an action that broke the Concordant Agreement, the secret commercial agreement of the F1 that all the equipment signs like part of their responsibility to compete in the maximum category.

ITS HISTORY IN THE PRINCIPLE CATEGORY

Diniz accompanied to Salo in 1998

The first Arrows equipment was founded during the season 1977 by Jacky Oliver and Alan Rees, but just in 1978 Arrows it saw the light in a GP. It was in Brazil, piloted by Riccardo Patrese. In his third race, in Sweden, the Italian occupied the second place, behind the Brabham de Niki Lauda. This promising beginning it did not follow no other good action to him. It was necessary to hope 1988 to see for all time Eddie Cheever and Derek Warwick piloting in the best Arrows equipment, when obtaining the fourth place in the Championship of the World of Constructors.

Hill almost wins in the GP of Hungary

After those great moments, at which the Arrows had a Megatron motor (the ex- BMW I disturb), the British single-seaters returned to the Ford motor, before the Japanese company Footwork International Corporation, that belonged to Wataru Ohashi bought, them. Footwork had a Porsche motor that never was competitive.

Verstappen with model 2001 driven by Asiatech

In 1995, Oliver and Rees returned to direct their equipment, but they returned to fail. From that way, Tom Walkinshaw took the reins. Most important it was the arrival of the Champion of the World Damon Hill to the equipment in the season of 1997, but it only obtained a second put in Hungary, although to point it was to gain the race, but for a failure in the change in the two last returns, that allowed Villeneuve to surpass to Hill. At the end of season 97, Yamaha and Damon Hill they left the equipment leaving to Walkinshaw in a difficult financial situation.
The equipment was sent to construct and to complete its own motor V10 de F1, ordering to him east work to Brian Hart. John Barnard, ex--McLaren and an ex-ones, were the one in charge to design the new A19.
In 1999 the arrival of the Nigerian investor Malik Ibrahim to the equipment left a side to Walkinshaw, that did not take much in recovering the control.
In 2001, they counted on the Asiatech propulsive, before denominated Peugeot. In spite of counting on a powerful impeller and Jos Verstappen realizing impressive advancements in the released ones, they only secured a point in all the match.

Frentzen added the last point of the equipment in the GP of Monaco 2002

The 2002 supposed another change of motor, running with a Cosworth V10, the same that Racing Jaguar would use. This, added to a fast chassis, allowed that the Arrows A23 had interesting activities of the hand of Frentzen, and giving rise to him even to always surpass to the Jaguar in classification and race, escudería that counted on the same impellers.
Later it occurred what all already we know, another sad end.
