My career, like many people, started in Formula Ford, in 1971, before progressing to Formula Italy, and on to Formula 3—a championship I stayed in for about four or five years. Formula Three was a good experience for me and my team, Euroracing. In 1977 we won the European F3...

1976 March 76B I have a confession to make. When I was but a pubescent young man, I used to lie in bed at night and fantasize…that I was Gilles Villeneuve. In an era before in-car cameras, I could close my eyes and visualize a complete lap of the U.S....
