The1984 Canadian Grand Prix was aFormula Onemotor race held atCircuit Gilles Villeneuve,Montreal on 17 June 1984. It was the seventh race of the1984 Formula One World Championship.
The 70-lap race was won by BrazilianNelson Piquet, driving aBrabham-BMW. Piquet tookpole position, led all 70 laps and set the fastest race lap, finishing 2.6 seconds ahead of AustrianNiki Lauda in theMcLaren-TAG. Lauda's French teammate,Alain Prost, finished third.
Prost actually won the start from Piquet, but exiting the Epingle de l'ile hairpin halfway around the first lap his TAG turbo went flat under acceleration and the Brabham was past in a flash never to be headed again. The TAG turbo would have intermittent electrical issues for Prost which helped Lauda take 2nd from his team mate before the end.
The top six was completed byElio de Angelis in theLotus-Renault,René Arnoux in theFerrari, andNigel Mansell in the other Lotus-Renault.
After the race, Piquet climbed out of his car and collapsed on the ground, due to a badly burned right foot caused by the extreme heat from his Brabham's new nose-mounted oil cooler which had actually burned a hole in his driving boot. In the next race at Detroit, he had a special tray of ice for easing the blisters on his foot.
