1977: Tyrell

Pironi made his Formula One debut in 1977 with the Tyrell team, driving alongside Boro refugee Héctor Rebaque. Despite Tyrell being unable to score any points in the previous year, Pironi was able to grab an unexpected point in the season-opening Argentine Grand Prix. However, for much of the rest of the season - Pironi would be plagued with reliability issues.
