Luiz Pereira Bueno, Brazilian F-1 driver

For most Formula 1 fans, Luiz Pereira Bueno, often referred as Luiz Bueno, was just another unknown, wealthy driver from a far away land who managed to buy his way into a single ride in Formula 1 and fulfill a dream. It is true that Bueno had a single Formula 1 start, the Brazilian Grand Prix of 1973, driving an outdated Surtees model and finishing a lowly 12th after starting dead last. However, Bueno was not wealthy and he was definitely not a nobody. He was one of the main drivers of the pre-Fittipaldi generation, for Luiz had been racing since 1957 and rose to prominence as a Willys (Renault) factory driver in the early 60’s. There he raced Gordinis, Interlagos (a Brazilian version of the Alpine), Alpine, Formula Junior and the Bino prototypes. He won many races in the yellow cars, and even after the demise of Willys as a manufacturer, Bueno raced the Bino prototypes for a few more seasons.

One of the best things that happened to Brazilian racing was the closing of the Interlagos race track for renovations during 1968 and 1969! That meant no racing in Sao Paulo, where most of the best drivers and teams were located. It also meant that drivers began looking abroad to continue racing, and Luiz was one of them. He raced for Stirling Moss’ Formula Ford team in 1969, and just like Emerson Fittipaldi, won a few races, in fact six. However, Luiz reckoned he was too old for adventures, being 32, and decided to return to Brazil for good for the 1970 season. He did take part in the International Formula Ford (winning in Rio), Formula Three and Formula Two tournaments held in 1970 and 1971, and soldiered on with the Bino prototype during the 1970 season, winning a few more races.

In 1971, Luiz and Anisio Campos bought two Porsches, a 910 and a 908/2, set up a team called Equipe Z, which eventually got Hollywood cigarette sponsorship. Driving this car Luiz was basically unbeatable in local racing and even won an international race in Argentina. He also raced the car in the 1000 km of Austria of 1972, starting seventh with Tite Catapani (they failed to finish) and ended second in the 500 km of Interlagos of 1972, behind Reinhold Joest (Porsche 908-3).

By then Bueno had his first try in Formula 1, driving an older March 711 in the non-championship Brazilian GP of 1972. He did well to finish 6th, 2 laps behind the winner, Reutemann. 

As for his single World Championship outing, there isn’t much to say. Bueno’s car was a Surtees 

TS9B, and he was obviously forewarned by Big John to avoid crashing or over revving the engine. 

He ran a very conservative race, with the aim to finish, and that he did (this was a big deal at the time, you must remember). Dreaming of a 6th place that time would be impossible, for while the 1972 race was poorly supported, and the 1973 race had a full entry.

Luiz spent his last three seasons driving other Hollywood sponsored cars in Brazil. The Porsche 908-2 had been outlawed for 1973, so Luiz drove Chevrolet Opala and Ford Maverick saloons in sprints and long distance races, sat out 1974, and had a powerful Berta prepared Maverick and a Berta-Hollywood prototype for the 1975 season, winning six races.  He officially retired, but raced a few more times, once in a touring car race in 1978, unsuccessfully racing in the Brazilian Stockcar championship in 1982 and in the 1984 1000 km of Brasilia, retiring for good.  

Bueno was actually the only local Brazilian driver do manage getting a one-off ride for the Brazilian Grand Prix. At the time it was usual for local drivers to hire extra GP cars and participate in their local race. There were rumors that Antonio Castro Prado, Francisco Lameirão and Eduardo Celidoneo were getting rides for the local race, but these came to naught and maybe highly speculative. Part of the reason is that privateers usually did not take cars to the South American rounds, and most of these one-off happened in more humble teams. Works teams usually took as little equipment as possible.

70s customers cars

Things have changed immensely for Formula 1 teams. Up until the early 70s, Formula 1 teams were basically forced to build cars for other formulas, racing them as works teams or selling them to customers. The extra income was necessary, until commercial sponsorship matured in the mid 70s, and Bernie Ecclestone expanded the Formula 1 concept into a more viable proposition.

Lotus, for instance, built Formula 3 and Formula 2 cars, selling them to customers in the early part of the decade. Lotus F3 cars were very common in 1970/71, rare by 1973, when Lotus had built the last non-Formula 1 car, the Formula 2 that became known as Texaco Star. There was some talk of a Formula Indy Lotus in the early 80's, but it never materialized.

Brabham was a major race car builder, in fact the cars were very common in F2, F3, Formula Atlantic, and even in Formula 5000. The Brabham BT40 was the last formula 2/formula 3 from that constructor, in 1973, and a Brabham BT43 Formula 5000 that briefly hit the race tracks.

The Henri Pescarolo Surtees, 1976. Sponsored by model manufacturer Norev.

McLaren was pretty much involved in F5000 in 1970, in fact, it was the most successful builder at the time. A McLaren M25 one off F-5000 car appeared in the mid 70s. McLaren also became involved in Formula Indy, winning two Indy 500 races (1974 and 1976) with the works team, and several other races. Among others, Penske used McLarens for a while. This involvement lasted until the end of the decade. McLaren also built a Formula 2 car for the 1972 season, winning the final race at Crystal Palace. McLaren was also involved in the Can Am series, staying as a works team until 1972, and winning the 1970 and 1971 titles.

It could be said that March was a race car builder who also happened to be in Formula 1. In fact, pretty much all F-1 Marches from 1972 on were based on the F-2 car, not the other way around. March was very successful in F-2, winning many titles between 1971 nd 1983, and in F-3, a category it left in 1981. It also built Formula Atlantic and Formula 5000 cars, in addition to sports cars.

Surtees had some success in F-5000 from the onset, winning a title in Europe (Van Lennep, 1972) and being competitive in USA (runner-up, Posey, 1971), also winning the 1972 F-2 championship (1972, Hailwood). It left F-2 in 1974, concentrating in Formula 1 with no great effect. It should be noted, however, that a Surtees F-1 won the British Group 8 championship of 1977, with Tony Trimmer.

Shadow began in F-1 in 1973, and it was active as a works team in Can Am, Formula 5000 and the revised Can Am, as of 1977.

Matra built F-1 cars until 1972, but it was concomitantly active in Sports-cars, in fact much more successful in the latter category, winning titles in 1973/74.

Ferrari had been in F-2 and Formula Tasman until 1969, but from 1970 until 1973 it built only Sports Cars out of Formula 1. In fact, it built more than 25 of the Ferrari 512, to meet Group 5 regulations. From 1974 on, it built only F-1, until the early 90's, when the Ferrari 333 was released.

Other constructors that were involved in F-1 in the 70's, but also built cars for other formulas or categories were Lola, Trojan, Ralt, Penske, Parnelli, Merzario, Martini, Ligier, Tecno, Bellasi, Alfa-Romeo.

Winds of change from the East

These days, we are quite accostumed with the idea of GP drivers from the old Iron Curtain. After all, drivers from Poland, Russia, Czech Republic and Hungary have all driven in Formula 1, and the Pole actually won a race before a rally accident ruined what looked like a great career.

However, in the 70's, we still lived under the Cold War, and the Eastern Block was basically shrouded by mystery. Russia every once announced even more mysterious GP level cars, touring car races were held in Brno, Czechoslovakia, as well as Budapest and Belgrade in the 60s, and East Germany also had a fairly active racing scene. However, dreaming of  an Iron Curtain GP driver in Formula 1 in the 70s was as far fetched as an imagination could go.

Not that the Eastern Block did not have a representative in F1, for Edgar Barth, Jurgen's father, did drive in the category while still East German. And later as West German.

Allow me some poetic liberty. As Formula 2 was, at least in theory, the step category before Formula 1, the driver pictured below almost became the first modern Eastern Block driver to reach Formula 1 in the 70s. Allow me a lot of poetic liberty.

Ok, there was Count Adam Potocki, born in Poland, who raced briefly in F2 in the late 60s, early 70s, however, by that time he had French citizenship. The guy below was the real deal.

The car is a Surtees TS16-Ford, and the driver, Yugoslav Francy Jerancic.

The "lot of poetic liberty" stems from the fact that Francy, who apparently had lots of bourgeois sponsorship in his car, never even came close to qualifying in any of the Championship F2 races he showed up for in 1975. That, of course, meant GP teams were not really lined up to hire the slow Titoland driver, and perhaps bring Vesna sponsorship to F1. Elsewhere, Francy did not steal any headlines either.

Notwithstanding, Jerancic makes a nice conversation piece about "almosts", of which there are so many in car racing.

It all started to come good for Van Lennep in 1970. After a few years driving various Porsches and even the DAF Formula 3 device, Gijs rose to some prominence in 1970 driving for the AAW team, in the World Championship of Makes. In the same year when he won the Le Mans 24 Hour race for the first time, 1971, Gijs got a sponsored drive at Surtees, debuting in the Dutch GP. He qualified 21st and finished 8th, in a very wet race. He also practiced for the USA GP, but Sam Posey ended up driving the car. After a year away from Formula 1, Van Lennep was one of several drivers to drive for Frank William’s Iso Marlboro in 1973, initially in the Dutch Grand Prix. He did very well, finished 6th and was the first driver to score points with a Williams designed and produced car, the recalcitrant Iso Marlboro. Gijs got a couple more rides with Williams that year, Austria (9th) and Italy (retired). Williams used Van Lennep’s services again in 1974, with less success, even though that year’s Iso Marlboro was actually a better car. In Belgium he finished 14th, and failed to qualify at Holland. The Dutch HB Bewaking Alarm company sponsored the Ensign team in 1975, and Van Lennep was a clear choice as driver. He run three times with the team, finishing all three races. In the German GP, which turned out to be his last Grand Prix, Van Lennep finished 6th and also gave Ensign its first point ever. After that there was no Formula 1 for Van Lennep, who would still get a second Le Mans win in 1976, retiring for good from the sport.


VAN LENNEP'S CAREER OUT OF FORMULA 1

Dutchman Van Lennep had a short but significant career. He began driving Formula Vees in his native Holland, and in the mid 60’s he was Daf’s Formula 3 driver also racing a Brabham Ford on occasion. He eventually graduated to more powerful machinery, namely, assorted Porsche sports cars for Ben Pon’s team, which he raced in assorted events in the World Championship of Makes. He eventually made it to the Porsche works team in 1967, but ended up racing for privateer teams again, in 1968 and 1969, trying his hands in Abarths and Alpines, in addition to the ubiquitous Porsches. Overall results were poor in those years. By 1970, Van Lennep had been hired by the Finnish AAIW Racing team, a second rate privateer Porsche specialist. Gijs also raced an Abarth on the 2 Liter championship, on occasion, finishing 3rd in Mugello. His performances were enough to entice Martini Porsche to hire him for 1971. Van Lennep did win Le Mans in 1971, with Helmut Marko, which placed him much in evidence. However the 5 liters were outlawed for 1972, and Gijs ended up racing for Jo Bonnier’s team, which Lola 3 liter cars were fast, but unreliable. The highlight of Gijs year in the Makes championship was scoring fastest lap in Le Mans, the event in which team boss Bonnier lost his life. However, Van Lennep also decided to take on F-5000 in 1972, and did well enough to win the European championship, driving a Surtees and winning two events. He continued to race in F-5000 in 1973, with much less success, but was hired by the Porsche works to develop the Porsche Carrera Turbo. Van Lennep again had a significant victory, winning the last edition of the Targa Florio valid for the world championship, sharing the Carrera Turbo with Herbert Muller. This was also the first world championship win by a Turbo car. Van Lennep continued to race the Carrera in 1974, finishing Le Mans in second place. He also finished 6nd, in a Kremer Porsche, in the 6 Hours of Monza of 1974, valid for the Euro GT Championship. In 1975, Gijs raced an assortment of Porsches in the Makes championship, from an elderly 908, to a GT 911, with several co drivers, including old pals Kinnunen and Herbert Muller. In 1976, Van Lennep was slated to drive in Le Mans with Jacky Ickx, in the Porsche 936. This turned out to be victory number 3 for Jacky, # 2 for Van Lennep, and the last race of his career. What a way to retire!!

Rarely is a driver’s first Formula 1 season his absolute best, especially when a driver hasa long GP career, as was Stommelen’s case. A sports car driver by excellence, who was drafted into the Porsche team after some useful hill climbing performances, Stommelen got a crack in the Formula 1 circus in the F2 section of the German Grand Prix, in 1969. He was 8th in the race and 9th in class, driving a Lotus for Roy Winkelmann. His Formula 1 debut proper took place in the South Africa GP of 1970. Aided by sponsorship from the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, Rolf was retained by Brabham to run alongside team boss Jack. Rolf normally qualified poorly, save for a 7th place in Belgium, but ended up scoring points in four occasions. The first time was in Belgium, where he finished 5th. He placed 5th in Germany as well, and then had an excellent 3rd in Austria, followed by a third straight points paying position, in Italy. This gave Stommelen a total of 10 points for the year, showing he had some talent as a single seater driver as well. For 1971, Rolf took his magazine sponsorship to the Surtees team, but in spite of racing competitively in the non-championship Argentine race, the relationship with Surtees did not gell. Rolf did score points on two occasions, in Monaco, 6th place, and Silverstone, 5th, and his best qualifying performances were 10th in Holland and France. Not surprisingly, Rolf was not back at Surtees the following year, instead was lured to drive for the newly formed Eifelland team. The car was essentially a March 721 with a novel, if ineffective, body by Lurani. The car was never even close to competitive, however, Stommelen showed reliability finishing 6 races. By the end of the year the team folded, and Stommelen was out of a GP drive. An opportunity arose in 1973, when Andrea de Adamich got injured in the British GP, vacating the third Brabham entry. With the BT42 Rolf had a halfway decent car, in fact qualifying 9th in Monza, however, there were no points scored that year. Still Alfa Romeo’s fastest sports car driver in 1974, Stommelen was hired by Graham Hill’s team after the Austrian GP. He did qualify well for three of the races, certainly pleasing team boss Hill. As a result, Stommelen was retained for 1975. Still using the year old Lola, Rolf finished the first three GPs of the season, placing 7th place in South Africa. For Spain, the team’s car name was changed to Hill, and Stommelen was placed 9th in the grid. The race was very confusing, with an accident right at the start, and several lead changes. Merzario and the Fittipaldi brothers pretty much boycotted the race, retiring after a single, slow lap, on the grounds that the circuit was very dangerous. In the 17th lap of the race, Stommelen suddenly found himself in the lead, which he held for a few laps, until his car left the track, in the 25th lap, hitting the Armco barriers and killing spectators. Rolf himself was sufficiently injured to be out for most of the year, and another German ended up winning the first “half-race” of the year, Jochen Mass. Stommelen eventually came back, doing the Austrian and Italian races, but was not competitive. For 1976 Stommelen was back at Porsche, but certainly due to his Alfa Romeo contacts, got a ride in the Brabham Alfa Romeo at the Nurburgring, after practing in the hopeless RAM Brabham. Rolf did really well finishing the tragic race in 6th place, earning the last point of his Formula 1 career. He was called to race one of the Heskeths in Zandvoort, finishing 12th, and was given another crack at the Alfa engined Brabham, at the Italian GP, replacing the outgoing Reutemann. 1977 was a very successful season for Rolf, but there was no F1. He won the German Championship after a yearlong tussle with Bob Wollek, impressing enough to be hired by the Warsteiner sponsored Arrows for the 1978 season. Rolf was not competitive at Arrows, while teammate Patrese showed plenty of pace on occasion. By the latter part of the year Stommelen was not even qualifying for races, thus bringing to a close his Formula 1 career. Rolf continued to race sports cars for years, in fact meeting his death while driving one of his beloved Porsches in Riverside, in 1983.

Judging from the press Schenken got in 1968, one would expect him to be world champion by the early 70’s. In fact, Tim had swept every one before him in F-Ford and Formula 3, winning in one year more races than most people win in a career. Things started to get tougher in F-2 though. Needless to say, F-1 was no piece of cake either. Tim got his first break driving the De Tomaso for Frank Williams, replacing Brian Redman. To his credit he managed to qualify the car all four times he appeared, a better performance than Redman’s. This was sufficiently good to attract the Brabham team, which signed Tim to replace Jack Brabham. The early part of the year was a bit tough, but in Britain Schenken qualified 7th. This was followed by three other top ten starts, plus a good helping of points from 6th in Germany and a swell 3rd place and podium in Austria. By the end of the year Schenken was back to the bottom of the timesheets, and was not retained by Brabham. In F-2 he showed a good turn of speed, and was one of the top drivers in the category. Leaving Brabham seemed right, as the team was obviously on a downward spiral, while Team Surtees, which Tim joined, seemed to be on the way up. The beginning of the year was not bad: right on his first race, Schenken scored a 5th place in Argentina, followed by eighth place on the grid in South Africa and good placings in the British non championship races. Henceforth, Schenken’s performance dropped, in spite of two very “racy” 5th grid positions in England and France. The relationship between Schenken and Surtees, known for being difficult, did not gell, and by the end of the year Tim had been shown the door, qualifying 32nd and dead last in the USA. For 1973 Schenken was already out of a regular drive in F-1, although he remained in the limelight in Formula 2 and Sports Car racing with Ferrari. He was one of several drivers to have the displeasure of driving an Iso Marlboro that season, in his case in Canada, finishing 14th. For 1974, Tim was going to back on the frame, with an ambitious project. Rondel (Ron Dennis’ F-2 team) had been planning an entry in F-1, but wisely gave up along the way, the project being picked up by no other than Ron Tauranac, the Australian that ran Brabham in 1971, before selling to Bernie Ecclestone. The new team was going to be called Trojan and in spite of the principal’s credentials, seemed to be a little short on funding by the time it appeared in Spain. The car also looked somewhat bulky, and it soon became clear that this would not be the instrument to revitalize Schenken’s F-1 career. He did manage to finish 3 times, including two tenth places, but also failed to qualify a couple of times. The project would not survive beyond Monza, so for the North American races Tim was free. As usual, Lotus planned to field a 3rd car in Watkins Glen, and Schenken was named to drive it. Another lost opportunity this was. Schenken qualified only 27th out of 30 and was the first reserve. He ended up starting anyway, but was disqualified in what amounted to be his last GP. Schenken continued racing a few more years, mostly driving assorted Porsches and Sports cars for the Georg Loos team, finding some success at this level. Eventually he founded the Tiga Racing concern with Howden Ganley , and continues to be involved in the sport to this day, in a managerial role.

A few Austrian drivers have been successful in Formula 1, such as Lauda, Rindt and Berger, but for some reason, drivers from that nationality have a high share of misfortune as well. Rindt died before being crowned champion, Lauda was almost burnt alive at the Nurburgring, Ratzenberger died in Imola, Helmut Marko’s eye was damaged beyond repair in Clermont Ferrand. Helmut Koinigg was mostly known for his success in Formula Super Vee, but eventually made it to the Ford Touring car works team and the Porsche works team, driving the Turbo Carrera. He proved fast, and was entered in the Finotto Brabham for the Austrian GP of 1974, failing to qualify. However, he was hired by Surtees to race in the final two Grands Prix of the season, and did really well to qualify the unloved TS16 in 22nd place in Canada, finishing a worthy 10th. For Watkins Glen, Helmut qualified 23rd, and without any explanation, his car left the road and crashed very hard, killing the unlucky Austrian immediately, the second death at the USA track two years running.

Bell had been around Formula 2 for sometime when he was hired by Ferrari as a Formula 2 driver in 1968. Eventually he got the chance of a lifetime, debuting in F-1 with the Prancing Horse’s cars. He qualified well (for a rookie) in Italy (8th), but retired, while the going was even tougher in USA (qualified 15th, retired as well). He got no further offers to drive Ferraris in F-1, but was hired to handle the four wheel drive McLaren in the 1969 British GP, an outing that ended in retirement as well. In 1970, Bell finished as runner up in the European Formula 2 championship, and debuted in Sports cars. His F-2 entrant, Tom Wheatcroft, put together a deal for Bell to drive a Brabham in the Belgian GP, where Bell retired. John Surtees also gave Bell a chance in the US GP, where Derek got his single Formula 1 point, finishing 6th. Surtees would give Bell other chances, including an entry in the 1971 British GP, where Bell retired. Then for 1972 Bell was retained by Tecno, as one of the PA123’s drivers. This turned out to be a total dud, and Tecno miserably failed to reach the success it had achieved in F3 and F2. The Martini sponsored cars were heavy, the proprietary 12 cylinder engines down on power and unreliable, and Bell continued to further damage his reputation as a single seater driver. Bell persevered in F2 for two more years, 1973 and 1974, while racing a wide range of machines, from touring cars to sports cars and, Formula 5000 and Can Am racers. John Surtees gave him a last GP chance in 1974. Derek was entered in five races, but the TS16 was a tough nut to crack. Bell finished 11th in Germany, but failed to qualify four other times. It became clear to Bell that pursuing a top level single seater career would no longer be possible, and he concentrated in Sports Cars, where he became one of the most successful drivers ever, including five Le Mans victories. He also became a successful broadcaster, and occasionally still races in the USA.
