 | | Prost eventually quit the sport as champion in 1993. He had no desire to stay at Williams for 1994 with Senna coming in, so retired instead - although he did test for McLaren that winter before deciding against another comeback. |
| |  | | 1987 champion Nelson Piquet wasn't happy that Nigel Mansell was able to challenge his status at Williams, and as it became clear that the team would lose Honda engines for 1988, the Brazilian was happy to make a big money switch to Lotus instead. |
| |  | | But Lotus was nowhere near McLaren's pace in 1988 and Piquet soon became demoralised. Williams fared even worse than Lotus that year, but then started its recovery in partnership with Renault. |
|
 | | Niki Lauda was deeply unimpressed with how the Ferrari chiefs handled his near-fatal crash in 1976. He responded by sweeping to the 1977 title then promptly walking out of the team to drive for Brabham instead. |
| |  | | Lauda couldn't recapture his title winning form with Brabham, winning just once before retiring for the first time. Ferrari was humbled by Lotus in 1978, but took Jody Scheckter to the 1979 title with support from Lauda's replacement Gilles Villeneuve |
