That was the first major conflict of the FISA-FOCA war. Jean-Marie Balestre announced that the 1980 Spanish GP would not count as a championship round, after drivers in FOCA teams didn't show up to driver's meetings at the previous 2 GPs. He subsequently stripped the drivers of their racing licenses. It was also a nail in the coffin for the Spanish GP at Jarama, which hosted the race for the last time the following year.
