1976: Shadow & Dywa

By 1976, Merzario was driving for the Shadow team alongside Welshman Tom Pryce, sharing the second car in a part season with Frenchman Michel Leclère. Merzario's best result in the Shadow was a eighth place in the German Grand Prix. Merzario also entered one race of the season - the French Grand Prix - for the floundering Dywa team. He failed to make it out of pre-qualifying.

Following the 1976 season, Merzario was unable to find a suitable drive for the next year, so he decided to build his own team and chassis in Formula Two, with plans to return to Formula One in a future season.
