40 years and one day ago, Niki Lauda and John Watson were sat slumped in front of McLaren team boss Ron Dennis and tech chief John Barnard in the team's Long Beach pits, slightly at a loss.
The driving pair had both contrived to have one of the worst qualifying sessions of their careers on the same weekend. 22nd and 23rd? It didn't look good.
In this darkest of moments though, Watson felt he might well have the situation sussed, and would go on 24 hours later to deliver a blinding win in the Californian sunshine with a record which might never be broken.
