Peter Gethin joined them following the death of Pedro Rodriguez that summer and then won his second race for them, the Italian GP, by the closest ever F1 winning margin of 0.010 seconds, a race that with his winning speed of 150.755mph is still the second fastest F1 race ever run. Jo Siffert was later killed in the last race of the season at Brands Hatch. Signed at the Peter Gethin Performance Driving School at Goodwood during the 1990s. Canadian businessman Walter Wolf purchased Frank Williams' F1 team at the end of 1976 and with his financial support the team was able to sign Jody Scheckter from Tyrrell as its driver. Surprisingly they won the first Grand Prix of 1977 and two further victories ensured second place in the World Drivers Championship. Jody Scheckter eventually became World Champion with Ferrari in 1979. Although Bellof and Bell won this event the previous year, they only finished 10th in 1984, yet Bellof still went on to become World Endurance Champion. That year the German also moved into Formula 1, but his career was then cut tragically short when he died in a huge accident during the 1985 Spa 1000 Kms.
