AThe Brabham BT42, Won three Grand Prix in the hands of Carlos Reutemann. In 1975 the group, sponsored by Martini, won tow more Grand Prix events. Ecclestone took the courageous action of abandoning the acutely successful Ford Coswroth motor at hte end of 1975 towards hte 12 cylinder Alfa Romeo Engine which develped slowly as a potential battle winning power unit. John Watson and Carlos speed were signed as drivers for 1977, and simply whilst the develpment work on the motor had been starting to produce tesults, Carlos Pace was tragically Killed in an aircrash. Watson, who aided to hold the group through thata unfortunate duration, emerged as one of the most acceptable motorists in 1977.
