Name the 2 teams that exploited the rule of cooling fluid refill after race ,with fake cooler tanks (empty during the race filled afterwards to match minimum weight limit),resulting in disqualifying back in 1982.

Actually there were three teams. Brabham and Williams in 1982, and Tyrell in 1984.

the yellow jersey in the tour de France was yellow because of a yellow newspaper called l'auto. Probably not why Renault chose yellow :)

Yellow as such, this year's too, just as trough previous years and decades.

Just as Ferrari's is red, Renault's is yellow. How did it all started? There was a chain of events leading to it. It wasn't anyone's decision or plan.
