	f1 statistics - Bertrand Gachot : Autocourse Grand Prix Archive
		A very confident and determined driver, Gachot assiduously built his career to reach his goal of racing in a front-running Formula 1 team, only to throw it away with a moment of madness when an assault on a London taxi-driver after a traffic altercation left him facing imprisonment.
		Bertrand's F1 career was on hold in 1993 - although he made a good Indy Car debut at Toronto - while he finalised plans to lead Pacific's Grand Prix challenge in 1994.
		Bertrand had worked ceaselessly to help find sponsorship for the team and it must have been doubly hard for him to realise that the PR01 was a substandard car which had no prospects of improvement.

	Larrousse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A nightmare season was capped off for him when he crashed heavily in qualifying for the Japanese GP at Suzuka's daunting 130R corner, badly breaking his leg, and putting him out of the F1 limelight until he returned with Ligier in 1994.
		Belgian Bertrand Gachot returned for the final race in Australia (after being released from jail for assault on a London taxi driver), but failed to make an impression either.
		Gachot and Katayama famously committed the cardinal sin of colliding with each other not once, but twice, in Canada and then Japan.

	Pacific Racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bertrand Gachot leads Paul Belmondo in practice for the 1994 Pacific Grand Prix.
		The PR01, designed for the 1993 season, had undergone none of the vital wind tunnel testing required to refine the car's aerodynamics, had seen only a few dozen miles of track testing and its Ilmor 3.5 L V10 engine was underpowered by 1994 standards.
		Gachot later returned after the money of the two pay-drivers dried up, with Pacfic's best finishes that season being 8th in the German and Australian Grand Prix.

	8W - Who? - Bertrand Gachot
		And poor Bert Gachot's claim to fame is that he catered for it by his own stupidity, as effectively he was sitting on a time bomb all through his Jordan campaign.
		But as said canisters are illegal in the UK and as he was probably the same Francophone bastard in court as he was in his contretemps with the plaintiff, he was sentenced to six months of imprisonment.
		As we all felt sorry for Bertrand, Jordan Grand Prix suddenly found itself without a driver for its No.32 car.

		The young man with the CS gas was racing driver Bertrand Gachot, a talented Belgian, who at the time was employed by the fledgling Jordan grand prix team, which was to make its debut in that year's formula one world championship.
		Gachot, a supremely self-confident individual, was convinced that his indiscretion would earn him no more than a fine and convinced his team boss, Eddie Jordan, that he had nothing to fear.
		Gachot served only two months, but that was enough to finish his top-rank formula one career.

	Cabbie opens door for speedy German \| Formula One \| Motor Sport \| Sport \| Telegraph
		To explain: the young man with the CS gas was a racing driver called Bertrand Gachot, a talented Belgian who at the time of the Hyde Park Corner incident was employed by the fledgling Jordan Grand Prix team, who were to make their debut in that year's Formula One world championship.
		When the case came to trial in the summer, he was sentenced to 18 months in jail, and Jordan, already short of money, suddenly found himself short of a driver as well.
		Gachot actually served only two months, but that was enough to finish his top-rank Formula One career.

	Bertrand Gachot - Grand Prix Racing - the whole story
		This cocky, self-confident and amusing personality will, sadly for his own sake, always be remembered for having his 1991 season brutally interrupted by a jail sentence.
		In August that year Gachot was found guilty of assaulting a London taxi driver with a personal CS gas spray during a traffic incident at Hyde Park Corner.
		He was back on the grid by the end of the season in a Larrousse-Lola, but tempers ran high and the matter of his incarceration became a cause celebre with the fellow Belgian racers, Thierry Boutsen and Eric van de Poele, picketing the British Embassy in Brussels while Bertrand languished behind bars.
