The 1984 Grand Prix marked the debut of Stefan Bellof, Ayrton Senna, and Martin Brundle in Formula 1, alongside Philippe Alliot and Francois Hesnault. Senna qualified the highest at 17th, with Brundle in 19th, Hesnault in 20th, Bellof in 23rd, and Alliot securing the final spot on the grid. Senna’s race ended after eight laps due to a turbo failure, while Bellof retired on lap 11, and Alliot and Hesnault retired after 24 and 25 laps, respectively. Brundle was the only rookie to finish the race, crossing the line in fifth place, but the Tyrrell team was later disqualified from the championship for technical infringements. Tragically, Bellof lost his life in a crash at Spa-Francorchamps in 1985, an event witnessed by Brundle. Hesnault and Alliot continued their F1 careers, with Hesnault being remembered for his onboard camera in the 1985 German Grand Prix, and Alliot accumulating over 100 starts in F1.
