Apart from being kicked out of the team and being replaced with Robert Doornbos after the British GP, his sponsors having failed to pay up for the team, nope.

He wasn't the only driver to qualify a EuroBrun though. His team mate in 1988, Larrauri, also qualified the car from time to time, while Roberto Moreno qualified the 1990 EuroBrun on a couple of occasions too.

Patrese stepped in for Mansell, Modena made his debut with Brabham. You don't need to mention Moreno. He was such a gifted driver that you could expect miracles from the Brazilian. He qualified an Andrea Moda for heaven's sake!

Gastón Mazzacane
Tarso Marques
Domenico Schiattarella (also known as: "I'm not even going to try and pronounce this guy's name", after Alan Jones)
By the way, does someone remember that HWNSNBM drove for two F1 teams?

kostas22 wrote:Any mentions of Gabriele Tarquini? He scored a single point for AGS in his entire career...in Mexico '89? Not sure on that one. I do remember he drove an Osella, Coloni and Arrows(?) very slowly too. Oh and when he subbed for Katayama in a Tyrrell...in 1996?
And another Italian, Emanuele Pirro, who escapes Rejectdom by the absolute minumum...a 5th for Benneton and a 6th for BMS Scuderia Italia.
And then there is Pedro Chaves who didnt even Pre-Qualify for Coloni in 1991 in 12(?) attempts!
Just thought of another one. Justin Wilson. Started off in 2003 in a Minardi, went faster than Jos Verstappen and then replaced Antonio Pizzonia at Jaguar mid-season. Scored 1 point all season, driving for Jaguar. Then got booted out in favour of Klien who had Red Bull money.

I wonder if these forums allow a custom word filter...

It reached a point where he was being mentioned to an unfunny degree, so after about the 2007 Australian GP podcast, he was henceforth referred to as 'He Whose Name Shall Not Be Mentioned" or, carrying on the F1 Rejects tradition of acronyms, "HWNSNBM".

Both have been mentioned I believe.
