Carlos Reutemann is the most recent Argentine race winner to ascend the top of the podium at the 1981 Belgian Grand Prix. That victory in Belgium was the last in a career that included 12 race wins. He achieved four first-place finishes for Ferrari in 1978 and ultimately finished third in the championship. 1981 was his last complete season and Reutemann, driving for Williams, finished as runner-up in the Drivers' Championship. The following year started with a second place at the South African Grand Prix but he would only last one more race before leaving Williams and quitting the sport amidst speculation of dissension between him and the team. Team mate Keke Rosberg went on to win the championship. In the "Autosport" vote Reutemann was placed 34th in the list of greatest ever F1 drivers. He is one of only a small number of racers who qualified in pole position at their debut race, and also has the most third-place finishes of any driver. Reutemann went on to have a career in politics, governing Argentina's Santa Fe province.
