As a teenager, he was part of the Renault driver development programme.

History is littered with occasons where someone is dropped from an organisation only to be incredibly sucessful later on. The Beatles are the most famous example!

1981 was the fourth season in F1 for the volatile Gunter Schmid's ATS team. Its previous three years had been somewhat tumultuous and yet fruitless. And by the start of 1981, Schmid had become disaffected with his existing driver Jan Lammers. He plugged on with the Dutchman for the first three races of the year in the previous year's D4 chassis, but by the beginning of the season it was already clear that he had made overtures to Borgudd and brought the 34-year-old into the fold.
At the fourth round of the championship, the San Marino Grand Prix, ATS entered two D4s, powered by their Cosworth V8s and sitting on Michelins, for both Lammers and Borgudd. It made Slim one of the oldest F1 debutants in the modern era, and the former musician had finally it all the way to the top of his second hobby. Thanks to his links with Ulvaeus, ABBA put their logo on the cars, although they supplied no sponsorship dollars. It was merely 'goodwill sponsorship' to hopefully attract other investors.VERSTAPPEN: ‘If I’d let Sainz past, dad would’ve kicked me in the nuts!’
