Koni

On page 974 we refer to the success of Monroe shock-absorbers in the 500 Mile Race at Indianapolis. It is only fair, therefore, to say that Koni claim that its shock-absorbers have won more F1 Grands Prix than any other, notching up their 200th victory of this sort at Detroit, as Piquet’s Brabham-BMW was so equipped, as are Ferrari, McLaren, Tyrrell and Williams. Indeed, Koni have been on every World Championship-winning Fl car since 1971 and it is the Dutch Company’s proud claim that they have been choosen on technical merit, as the full extent of any sponsorship is lending their dampers to the top contestants.
