Hans Joachim Stuck's first Formula 1 stop was March, where the young German gained experience and collected championship points between 1974 and 1976. The big opportunity came when he replaced Carlos Pace at Brabham in 1977, who had died in a light plane crash in Brazil. After podium finishes in Germany and Austria, his finest hour seemed to have come at Watkins Glen when he led the race for 14 laps. But a gear that jumped out led to a spin and a disappointing retirement instead of the Grand Prix victory he had hoped for. From then on, Stuck’s Formula 1 career took a downward turn.

After a disappointing 1978 season with Shadow, the Bavarian joined Günter Schmid's ATS team for 1979. There, Gustav Brunner had tried to convert the D1 developed by John Gentry into an effective wing car in the style of the Lotus 79. However, the ATS D2 remained a permanent technical desaster throughout the season and led to numerous retirements. At Kyalami, the German held on to 12th place for a long time before spinning into the crash barriers at the Leeukop corner. At the end of the season, Strietzel Stuck bid farewell to F1 with 5th place at Watkins Glen and embarked on his successful sports car career.
