As Argentinean Ricardo Zunino was spectating, he was able to join Nelson Piquet in the team, having luckily tested for them earlier in the year. For a F1 novice he performed well enough to be kept on for the following year, but when he failed to qualify for Monaco, he was replaced by Mexican Hector Rebaque. Meanwhile Brazilian Piquet went from strength to strength and took two Drivers World Championships at Brabham in 1981 and 1983.
