Yep. Carlos Reutemann was told to honour the strict number two status of his contract with Williams at the 1981 Brazilian GP. Told to back off, and let Alan Jones take a clear pass in wet conditions, he kept his foot down, and scored what was described as a perfect Williams 2-1 Victory...

That set the tone for the working relationship between Jones and Reutemann for the rest of the season.

At the end of the season, Carlos approached AJ and suggested they should bury the hatchet. Jones, still aggrieved, replied "Yeah. In your back, Mate."
