Stefan Johansson
Encyclopedia
Stefan Nils Edwin Johansson (born 8 September 1956 in Växjö
, Sweden
) is a former Formula One
driver from who drove for among others both Ferrari
and McLaren
during his Grand Prix career. Since leaving Formula One he has raced in a number of categories, including CART
, various kinds of Sports car racing
, and Grand Prix Masters
. He is also the manager of New Zealander Scott Dixon
, winner of the 2008
Indianapolis 500
.
' Project Four team. In Formula One he participated in 103 grands prix, debuting on 13 January 1980 for the Shadow Racing Team at the 1980 Argentine Grand Prix
when he was still a Formula 3 regular. He failed to qualify for the race and the next race in Brazil
and he was not seen in F1 again until 1983
after spending 1982 in the European Formula Two Championship
with Spirit Racing
where he finished 8th overall, his best finish being 3rd at Mugello
in Italy
.
Johansson's first F1 race with Spirit was at the non-championship 1983 Race of Champions
at Brands Hatch
where he failed to finish due to failure of the Honda engine on lap 4. His links to Spirit and their Honda engines saw him re-enter F1 with them at the 1983 British Grand Prix
at Silverstone
where he qualified the 201C in a credible 14th position. He raced in a further five Grands Prix in 1983 with a best finish of 7th in the Dutch Grand Prix
at Zandvoort.
Stefan Johansson was replaced at Spirit by Mauro Baldi
for the 1984 season
when the team lost its Honda engines to Williams
and he didn't race until he joined Tyrrell
in Round 10 of the championship, the British Grand Prix
, at Brands Hatch as a replacement for the injured Martin Brundle
. He then went on to Toleman
for the end of season Grands Prix, finishing fourth in the Italian Grand Prix
at Monza
as a replacement for the team's regular driver Ayrton Senna
who was stood down by the team for the race for breaking contract and signing with Team Lotus
for 1985
.
Johansson signed a contract with Toleman for 1985 but it fell through when Toleman failed to secure a tyre agreement. Instead Johansson started again with Tyrrell as a replacement for the suspended Stefan Bellof
before being called up to Ferrari when René Arnoux
was sacked. He led his second race with Ferrari in San Marino
and two laps from home passed Senna's out of fuel Lotus to the delight of the Tifosi
and would probably have won if his Ferrari 156/85
had not run out of fuel just half a lap after taking the lead.
His role at Ferrari for the 1985 season was primarily to back up Michele Alboreto
's championship challenge, but in 1986
he often outpaced his Italian
team-mate. Indeed Johansson finished the 1986 Drivers' Championship his best ever in 5th place while Alboreto, who finished 2nd in 1985, could only manage 9th place.
He was replaced at Ferrari by Austrian
Gerhard Berger
for 1987
and he moved to McLaren as number two driver behind double and reigning World Champion Alain Prost
. Further podium finishes followed and Johansson finished 6th in the Drivers' Championship. Stefan Johansson's position at McLaren was considered by many as just a stop gap signing by team boss Ron Dennis who had failed to lure Ayrton Senna from Lotus due to him being under contract until the end of 1987 and always intended signing the Brazilian
for 1988
. Johansson famously finished the 1987 German Grand Prix
on three wheels having had a puncture on the last lap. Despite 11 podiums in 3 seasons, Johansson was still winless, and was not wanted by a top team. He did however return to McLaren in a test-driver capacity in 1991, testing the Honda V12 engine at Suzuka, Japan.
He joined Ligier for 1988, ironically alongside Arnoux, but the team's first non-turbo powered car since 1981
, the Michel Beaujon designed JS31
, was totally uncompetitive scoring no points and more often than not failing to qualify, even against teams with much smaller budgets such as AGS
and Rial. Better was to follow in 1989 as he was signed to lead the new Onyx
team. Their car was temperamental and didn't always qualify, but Johansson finished third in Portugal
for his last (and the team's only) podium finish. He fell out with new team owner Peter Monteverdi
in early 1990 and was duly sacked, making further appearances for AGS
and Footwork
in 1991.
Johansson's record of podium finishes without a win was equalled by Nick Heidfeld
at the 2009 Malaysian Grand Prix
and beaten at the 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix
.
In his Grand Prix career, Johansson achieved 12 podiums, and scored a total of 88 championship points.
Championship Car, winning the Rookie of the Year title with two third places, ahead of Belgium
's Eric Bachelart
. His first pole came at Portland the next year, but as in Formula One he never won a race. From 1992 to 1996, he started 73 races and had his best season overall in 1994, finishing in 11th. During this time, he competed in the 1993-1995 Indianapolis 500
. At the 1996 Molson Indy Toronto race, he was involved in an accident that claimed the life of fellow driver Jeff Krosnoff
and track marshall Gary Avrin. After making wheel to wheel contact, Jeff's car hit the barriers and also a tree and lamp post that was too close to the track. Krosnoff died instantly of the injuries sustained from hitting the lamp post.
career Johansson had participated in sports car races such as 24 Hours of Le Mans
, and had won two World Sportscar Championship
races in the 1980s (the Mugello round in 1983, driving a Joest Racing
Porsche 956
with Bob Wollek
, and the 1988 Spa Francorchamps race in a Sauber C9 with Mauro Baldi
). After retiring from CART
at the end of the 1996 season he returned to this type of racing. During 1997 he recorded two major race wins, at the 12 Hours of Sebring
driving a Ferrari 333 SP
and at Le Mans
where he drove a Joest Porsche.
In 1997
Johansson founded a successful Indy Lights team running Fredrik Larsson
and Jeff Ward
; in 1998
its drivers were Guy Smith
and Luiz Garcia, Jr.
; for 1999
the seats went to Scott Dixon
and Ben Collins.
During 1998 & 1999 Johansson raced for various sports car teams (like the unreliable Audi R8
C Coupé at Le Mans) but in 2000 he started Johansson-Matthews racing with an American businessman called Jim Matthews. They competed in the American Le Mans Series
using a Reynard
2KQ prototype. Unfortunately this wasn't a successful vehicle in its original form (though it was later developed into various other successful cars including the Zytek that he later raced) and the partnership dissolved.
In 2001 Johansson campaigned an Audi R8
prototype with backing from Gulf Oil
and the assistance of Mike Earle's Arena team. That year he raced in the European Le Mans Series
, the American Le Mans Series
and at Le Mans
itself. His co-drivers were Guy Smith and Patrick Lemarie. At Le Mans Smith was replaced by Tom Coronel
.
2002 saw Johansson back in an Audi R8
but this time one run by the Miami based Champion Racing team. His co-driver was ex Formula One
driver Johnny Herbert
and they competed in the American Le Mans Series
.
For 2003, he returned to CART as a team owner, running American Spirit Team Johansson with Jimmy Vasser
and Ryan Hunter-Reay
as drivers. This was one of many new teams for the 2003 CART season; ironically, Bachelart's Mi-Jack Conquest Racing
team was another. The team was under-funded, and although Hunter-Reay scored a fluke win in the wet conditions at Australia, it folded at the end of the season.
After only competing in a couple of celebrity races and occasional outings in the works Zytek
in 2004 Johansson returned to full time racing in 2005 driving the Chip Ganassi
run New Century Mortgage sponsored Lexus Riley Daytona Prototype in the American Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series. With co-driver Cort Wagner he scored his best finish, a 2nd place, at Mont Tremblant in Canada, they finished the year in 5th place in the championship.
In 2006 as well as the Grand Prix Masters series, Johansson has made occasional appearances in Grand-Am for the Cheever and CITGO teams, and has continued an association with the works Zytek
team in the Le Mans Series
.
2007 saw Johansson competing in a Highcroft Racing
Courage
-Acura
in the LMP2 class of the American Le Mans Series
, sharing with David Brabham
. He was due to race a Zytek at Le Mans in 2007, but the team could not rebuild the car in time after a test-day accident, and Johansson made a last minute deal to drive a works Courage.
Johansson took part in the inaugural Speedcar Series
in 2008, where luck once again deserted him - as the victim of a lot of other drivers' accidents. For 2008 Johansson does not have a full-time sports car drive, with some outings planned in the Highcroft Acura ARX-01
in the ALMS
and a place with the Epsilon Euskadi
team at Le Mans.
Outside the cockpit, Johansson has a number of business ventures (including managing several successful drivers such as Scott Dixon
) and is a keen artist
- he is particularly known for his watch
designs. Also "Lill-Lövis" does expert commentary on Viasat Motor during F1 races.
In 2011 he will race a Pescarolo
-Judd
in the Petit Le Mans
10 Hours and a Ford GT3 in the Malaysian 12 Hours at Sepang.
