Career

After some success in Formula Ford and Formula 3, Nève initially moved up to Formula One with RAM, driving a Brabham. After a one-off drive with Ensign, he spent 1977 with newly formed Williams Grand Prix Engineering, driving a March with very little in the way of results. The following year he tried to enter his own March in his home grand prix, but it was not authorized.[2]
