Gabriele Tarquini was a candidate to race for Larrousse alongside Comas in 1993. But instead Alliot made his umpteenth comeback.

Peterson was in talks with Wolf for 79. Of course he was going to end up at McLaren before fate intervened

Jean Alesi, after making his unforgettable debut in 1989, was a target for many teams. His Williams pre-contract is well-known, but for 1990, Mclaren contacted him to replace Prost, but that came to nothing. Also Ligier made an offer for him. But he opted to stay at Tyrrell, and then to move to Ferrari in 1991.

About the earlier post about Unser, I think he was actually linked to Brabham for 85 alongside Piquet, not 86

Ferrari wanted an italian driver, when Prost was sacked.
Modena, Capelli, Martini, de Cesaris and Larini were in the running.

That was to replace Berger in '89 after his fiery Imola shunt.

I know Larini was also in talks about replacing Berger. And I think Marco Greco was rumoured to take Larini's Ossela seat as a result. Larini feels Berger came back quicker to stop anyone taking his seat!
