Many in the German Grand Prix paddock may not remember Morris 'Mo' Nunn, who passed away at the age of 79 on Wednesday, and yet Hockenheim has a certain significance in the Englishman's varied career.
It was here in 1978 that Nunn's Ensign team gave Nelson Piquet his Formula One debut. Although the future World Champion qualified near the back and retired with engine failure, the entire scenario was typical of Nunn's shoestring effort while, at the same time, underscoring Ensign's small but meaningful contribution to F1's history. It also encompassed every facet of a man who was no mean driver himself and could build and engineer a decent race car.
