		Rolf got on well with Hill and secured a seat for 1975, but his first race in the new Hill GH1 at the trouble-torn Spanish GP ended in disaster when a wing stay failed while he was leading the race.
		With Warsteiner backing the Arrows team in 1978, Rolf was given the second seat and a chance to renew his Grand Prix career, but the season was a severe disappointment and Stommelen returned to sports car and GT racing, where he was still a competitive runner.
		Rolf Stommelen's last race was at Riverside, California on the 24th of April 1983.

		Rolf-Johann Stommelen came up through the ranks of racing in Germany in the early 1960s and ended up as a Porsche factory sports car driver in the late 1960s, winning the Targa Florio in 1967 with Paul Hawkins in a Porsche 910.
		Stommelen joined the Brabham works team at the side of Sir Jack Brabham and enjoyed an impressive maiden Grand Prix season, thanks to backing from the caravan company Eifelland Wohnwagenbau, which was run by enthusiast Gunther Henerici.
		Stommelen was back at Brabham in 1973 and then in the 1974 Austrian GP replaced the injured Guy Edwards in the Embassy Hill team.

	ROLF STOMMELEN GP DRIVERS BIOGRAPHIES OF EVERY FORMULA 1 DRIVER EVER, BY CARLOS DE PAULA
		Rolf did score points on two occasions, in Monaco, 6th place, and Silverstone, 5th, and his best qualifying performances were 10th in Holland and France.
		Rolf himself was sufficiently injured to be out for most of the year, and another German ended up winning the first “half-race” of the year, Jochen Mass.
		For 1976 Stommelen was back at Porsche, but certainly due to his Alfa Romeo contacts, got a ride in the Brabham Alfa Romeo at the Nurburgring, after practing in the hopeless RAM Brabham.

	8W - What? - Eifelland
		Stommelen, buoyed by a superb Austrian GP performance which saw him haul his Brabham from 18th to third, then left to pursue a second season with Surtees.
		In sportscars, Rolf had his Alfa drive to keep him busy, and it was because of this and his close ties with Brabham that he was chosen to step into Andrea De Adamich's shoes in the third Brabham, the Alfa protege having hurt himself in the notorious 1973 Silverstone pile-up.
		For 1976, Rolf was glad to sign for Martini Porsche, hoping to return to the winning ways he got used to in the late sixties winning the 1967 Targa Florio, the 1968 Daytona 24 hours and the 1968 Paris 1000kms for Weissach.

		There were two other F1 debutantes: Australian Alan Jones who was at the wheel of the original Hesketh which had been sold to Harry Stiller and Roeluf Wunderink who brought sponsorship from Dutch security company HB Bewaking to the Ensign team.
		There was controversy from the start of the meeting because the Grand Prix Drivers Association was unhappy with the state of the barriers, which were not properly bolted together, and they went on strike.
		Stommelen was left in the lead with Pace and Peterson chasing him and then came Jochen Mass (McLaren) and Jacky Ickx (Lotus).

	Rolf Stommelen - Grand Prix Racing - the whole story
		A third place in Austria and a fifth in Italy marked out Rolf as a man with great promise, but a switch to Team Surtees in 1971 slowed his career's momentum and a detour to drive the Luigi Colani- revamped March 721 for Heinz Henerixxi's Eifelland team in 1973 virtually brought it to a halt.
		He recovered to drive for Hill again later that season, but was unable to reproduce his past form and faded from the Grand Prix scene at the end of the year.
		But the light had gone out and Rolf was an also-ran, so he switched to sports cars thereafter.

	Eifelland F1 1972
		Stommelen had joined the Brabham works team at the side of Sir Jack for a pretty successful maiden Grand Prix season in 1970 with a fine third place in the Austrian Grand Prix at Zeltweg to his credit.
		Not belonging to the fastest in the field a brave Rolf Stommelen, again critized by the German media, made the best out of the situation and showed proper reliability, a thing also was suppported by a clean preparation of the Eifelland mechanics under the management of team manager Heinz Koblitschek.
		Stommelen, now driver and team principal in personal union, found sufficient equipment and money to take part both in his home Grand Prix at the Nuerburgring and in the Austrian round at Zeltweg.

		Jacky Ickx took pole in his Ferrari, with Stommelen a respectable 17th and 2.61s away, just behind Pace but ahead of Pescarolo and clearly ahead of Lauda, who was 25th and bog last.
		At Monaco, the Type 21's handling deficiencies meant that Stommelen was 25th and last of the entrants, a full 8.1 seconds off the pace set by Emerson Fittipaldi's Lotus.
		The team then backed up this encouraging performance at Nivelles for the Belgian GP, where Stommelen started 20th (once again ahead of Lauda who was last) and finished 11th and 2 laps down, but on the same lap as Peterson who was 9th.
