Indeed, Piquet won the title in the Brabham BT52 but Patrese's season was littered with mechanical failures because his car was carrying the BMW development parts that were added to Piquet's car when they had been made reliable. Again, Patrese's contribution to his team-mate's success was very significant, but does little (on the surface) to boost his own standing.
