2000 Arrows A21

[ translate ]

Few teams entered Formula One less auspiciously than Arrows. With millionaire co-founder Franco Ambrosio jailed for financial misconduct just months after their formation, the remaining management were ill-equipped to defend a subsequent lawsuit from Shadow alleging breach of copyright in respect of their DN9 design. Erstwhile Shadow sponsor Ambrosio had taken his backing and several key personnel to form Arrows in late 1977 only for the High Court to rule that the team’s FA1 design was in fact a blatant copy of Shadow’s DN9.
