The problem was that "Nelson Piquet" was quick and he won the Brazilian national championship in his second year of competition.
Nelson started the year as runner-up in the Race of Champions and by the end of the season he had served his apprenticeship and was ready to step into Lauda's shoes as team leader when the Austrian decided to retire.
In 1983 however the package was mighty and by the end of that year Piquet had blasted aside Alain Prost to win his second world title with a late season burst of victories which the Renault men always said was achieved with rocket fuel.

  Britain.tv Wikipedia - Nelson Piquet
Nelson Piquet Souto Maior (born August 17, 1952), more commonly known as Nelson Piquet, is a Brazilian racing driver who was Formula One world champion in 1981, 1983, and 1987.
Piquet, born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was the son of a Brazilian government minister who did not approve of his racing career, and for this reason he was forced to use his mother's maiden name Piquet (of French origin and pronounced as "Pee-Kay") mispelt as Piket to hide his identity.
Piquet made amends in 1987, using political maneuvering and technical skill to gain the upper hand.

Nelson Piquet Jr is the first driver in GP2 history to have a perfect point scoring weekend after dominating in miserable conditions to win race two at the Hungaroring, finishing well ahead of the ART pair of Lewis Hamilton and Alex Premat.
Piquet was on a mission, and his pressure soon paid dividends when Premat ran wide, leaving a gap large enough for Piquet but not for his teammate, clearing the track for the Brazilian to allow him to create the first of a string of fastest laps.
The Piquet Sports team were ecstatic in the pit lane as their driver rolled to a halt in front of them, jumping straight out to hug his father and salute his team.

Piquet was crowned Brazilian kart champion in 1971 and 1972.
Nelson's reaction was remarkable: he said the accident was the best thing that could have happened to BMW because it had avoided the shame of a blown engine at their home Grand Prix.
The 1985 season was a disappointment, Nelson scoring a single win in the French GP when at least his Pirelli tyres were the ones to have, the Italian rubber enduring the heat to last the distance.
