In Spain he had another engine fire after starting a much-improved 18th. Then in Monaco he was Captain Chaos again, when he was hit, of all things, by the safety car. In Saturday practice, he had stopped on the track, and was being towed back when the session was over with Inoue still in the car.

Meanwhile, French rally ace Jean Ragnotti had decided to take the Renault safety car out for a spin, and he hit the Arrows coming into the swimming pool section. The F1 car was written off as it flipped. Inoue did not have his belts on, but he had his helmet on, and a chunk was taken out of that! He was fortunate that concussion was all he got. Eventually starting the race last, he was put out by a gearbox failure.



Then came Hungary, and for the first time he outqualified his team-mate, now Massimiliano Papis, by starting 20th. But it was only after his engine failed on lap 14 that his real fun began.
Having stopped on the edge of the track, his engine steaming, Inoue got out and began to berate the two marshals on the scene for not getting the fire extinguishers out. One of them finally ambled to the armco to get an extinguisher, but Inoue, in a hurry, followed the poor soul and seized the canister from him.

As he turned back towards his stricken Arrows, Inoue failed to see the marshals' vehicle heading towards him along the grass, and he was given an almighty clout. Amazingly, he ended up on his feet, but after a moment's delayed reaction, he clutched at his broken left leg and fell to the ground. Even more amazingly, one of the marshals on the spot hurriedly took the extinguisher which he had now dropped, without tending to the hapless driver writhing on the deck!

René Arnoux on yksi maailman kuljettajista. Hän ajoi välillä parhaalla autolla, mutta yltyi silti moniin uskomattomiin suorituksiin, niin autossa kuin sen ulkopuolellakin. René oli myös tunnettu rämäpäänä joka ei pelännyt ottaa riskejä. Hän oli usein mukana kolareissa. Häntä jopa kutsuttiin hulluksi, ja aiheesta.
