Ronnie Peterson (\u00d6rebro, 14 de fevereiro de 1944 – Mil\u00e3o, 11 de setembro de 1978), conhecido como “SuperSwede”, foi um dos pilotos mais r\u00e1pidos da hist\u00f3ria da F\u00f3rmula 1. Em 123 Grandes Pr\u00e9mios conquistou 10 vit\u00f3rias, 14 pole positions, 26 p\u00f3dios e 9 voltas mais r\u00e1pidas, e apesar de nunca ter ganho o t\u00edtulo foi duas vezes vice-campe\u00e3o do mundo, em 1971 e em 1978. Morreu aos 34 anos depois do acidente na partida do Grande Pr\u00e9mio de It\u00e1lia, em Monza.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peterson \u00e9 o caso cl\u00e1ssico de um piloto lembrado mais pela velocidade do que pelos t\u00edtulos. Nunca ganhou um campeonato do mundo, mas muitos adeptos consideram-no um dos maiores da sua gera\u00e7\u00e3o, e o seu nome continua a dividir os especialistas quando se fala do mais r\u00e1pido de sempre. Eis a sua hist\u00f3ria, do karting a Monza.<\/p>\n

Os in\u00edcios: do karting \u00e0 F\u00f3rmula 3<\/h2>\n

Ronnie Peterson nasceu a 14 de fevereiro de 1944 em \u00d6rebro, na Su\u00e9cia. Correu primeiro de kart, e em 1963 e 1964 foi campe\u00e3o sueco. Passou depois aos monolugares: a F\u00f3rmula 3 viu-o despontar no final dos anos sessenta, at\u00e9 \u00e0 vit\u00f3ria no campeonato em 1969 com um Tecno, ano em que tamb\u00e9m venceu a corrida de F\u00f3rmula 3 que acompanhava o Grande Pr\u00e9mio do M\u00f3naco.<\/p>\n

\"Ronnie<\/p>\n

Na F\u00f3rmula 1: March e Lotus<\/h2>\n

Peterson estreou-se na F\u00f3rmula 1 no Grande Pr\u00e9mio do M\u00f3naco de 1970, com um March 701 da equipa de Colin Crabbe. Em 1971, tamb\u00e9m com a March, foi vice-campe\u00e3o do mundo com 33 pontos e ganhou o t\u00edtulo europeu de F\u00f3rmula 2.<\/p>\n

Em 1973 passou para a Lotus e conquistou a primeira vit\u00f3ria na F\u00f3rmula 1 no Grande Pr\u00e9mio de Fran\u00e7a: nessa temporada ganhou quatro corridas (Fran\u00e7a, \u00c1ustria, It\u00e1lia e Estados Unidos) e terminou o campeonato em terceiro, com 52 pontos. Em 1974 ganhou mais tr\u00eas (M\u00f3naco, Fran\u00e7a, It\u00e1lia) e foi quinto. Depois de uma dif\u00edcil temporada de 1975, em 1976 voltou \u00e0 March e ganhou o Grande Pr\u00e9mio de It\u00e1lia, enquanto em 1977 correu pela Tyrrell.<\/p>\n

Em 1978 regressou \u00e0 Lotus como segundo piloto de Mario Andretti<\/a> e conquistou duas vit\u00f3rias, na \u00c1frica do Sul e na \u00c1ustria. No final desse campeonato foi segundo, com 51 pontos, atr\u00e1s de Andretti.<\/p>\n

\"Ronnie<\/p>\n

Um capacete ic\u00f3nico<\/h2>\n

O capacete de Peterson era f\u00e1cil de reconhecer: azul metalizado com pala e faixas em amarelo sueco. A vers\u00e3o de 1973, usada no Lotus John Player Special, com os autocolantes dos patrocinadores por cima da viseira e no queixo, \u00e9 o \u00fanico capacete que sobrevive do seu melhor per\u00edodo e \u00e9 hoje um objeto de cole\u00e7\u00e3o. Os adeptos continuam a associ\u00e1-lo de imediato a ele.<\/p>\n

\"Ronnie<\/p>\n

O SuperSwede: nunca campe\u00e3o do mundo<\/h2>\n

Peterson nunca ganhou o campeonato do mundo de F\u00f3rmula 1: foi segundo em 1971 e de novo em 1978, numa temporada que terminou depois da sua morte. Para muitos adeptos o seu valor est\u00e1 precisamente na velocidade: alguns consideram-no o piloto mais r\u00e1pido que alguma vez correu na F1. Em 1973 a passagem para a Lotus de Colin Chapman foi a melhor fase da sua carreira, com quatro vit\u00f3rias numa temporada. Se lhe interessa outro grande nome, leia tamb\u00e9m o perfil de Ayrton Senna<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Monza 1978, o fim de tudo<\/h2>\n

O Grande Pr\u00e9mio de It\u00e1lia disputou-se em Monza a 10 de setembro de 1978. A partida foi dada antes de todos os carros estarem alinhados, e na arrancada ca\u00f3tica que se seguiu, na chicane, James Hunt foi apanhado por Riccardo Patrese e, ao virar para a esquerda, bateu na roda traseira direita do Lotus 78 de Peterson. O carro foi contra as barreiras e incendiou-se. Peterson ficou preso, mas Hunt, Clay Regazzoni e Patrick Depailler conseguiram libert\u00e1-lo dos destro\u00e7os.<\/p>\n

Foi levado para o hospital Niguarda, em Mil\u00e3o, com cerca de 27 fraturas nas pernas e nos p\u00e9s. Durante a noite sofreu uma embolia gorda, uma complica\u00e7\u00e3o que pode seguir as fraturas do f\u00e9mur, e morreu na manh\u00e3 de 11 de setembro de 1978, aos 34 anos.<\/p>\n

Depois do acidente, os pilotos da associa\u00e7\u00e3o GPDA culparam Patrese e conseguiram que fosse exclu\u00eddo do Grande Pr\u00e9mio dos Estados Unidos; as investiga\u00e7\u00f5es posteriores ilibaram-no, e uma “justi\u00e7a” deste tipo nunca mais se repetiu na F1.<\/p>\n

O filme “Superswede”<\/h2>\n

Se quer saber mais sobre Peterson, veja o document\u00e1rio “Superswede: A film about Ronnie Peterson”, de 2017, realizado por Henrik Jansson-Schweizer. Conta a vida e a carreira de Ronnie atrav\u00e9s do olhar da filha Nina Kennedy, que aparece no filme e \u00e9 tamb\u00e9m produtora, com entrevistas a figuras da F1 como Niki Lauda e Jackie Stewart, e recorda a sua morte em Monza e os perigos daquela \u00e9poca.<\/p>\n
