IIRC, in the 80's the pit crew were still wearing T-Shirts during pit stops.

It was a eerie foreshadowing of Senna's crash, as they happened only feet apart. Very similar, too, as both were mechanical failures. (Berger's front wing came off.)
I have no idea why there isn't any video or pics of the refueling. Maybe because it was a VERY secretive area, the top teams getting up to a 50hp boost from having great fuel. They did the fueling in the garage, as there were no refueling stops at that time.
