'Remember that half a point in 1984?'

This is not your typical Look Back picture for it was taken during last weekend's Austrian Grand Prix, where former McLaren team-mates Alain Prost and Niki Lauda took part in the F1 Legends Parade.

But the pair probably looked back on that famous 1984 season, when Niki won less races than Alain (5 to 7) but eventually pipped the Frenchman to the championship for 0.5 point (72 to 71.5). This would be the Austrian's third and final crown, while Prost would succeed him the very next year to win the first of his four titles.
