After being dumped by McLaren at the end of 83, Watson was linked to Tyrrell and actually came close to getting the second Brabham drive, but Piquet refused him and Senna and his own choice of Moreno failed, as Parmalat wanted an Italian driver, hence why they signed up Teo, with Corrado taking his place when he was racing in Indycars
Wattie was actually supposed to make a comeback in 85 with Tolemann, alongside Johansson, but due to a lack of tyre contract, it never happened.
