    It was lucky that Lauda was already established by then.
    Losing Romerquelle may not have much affected his career, but it was surely a blow to his market value.

    Bertrand Gachot was driving alongside Andrea de Cesaris in Eddie Jordan's new outfit.
    He bought his drive with personal sponsorship.
    He had an altercation with a London taxi driver and was arrested.
    His sponsors dropped him like a lead balloon and Schumacher was in the car for the next GP at Spa, being immediately snatched by Briatore for Benetton.

    I'm surprised that no one has drawn the obvious link between the OPs original post and it's wishful application to a certain Mr Hamilton... ;)
