Having shone in Formula Three and then in Formula Two, a seat at Ferrari seemed a possibility for Cheever at the tender age of 19 but Gilles Villeneuve got there first. Drives for Theodore and Hesketh followed but it was not until 1980 with the new Osella team that Cheever graduated full time. His first points finishes came at Tyrrell in 1981 before he hit the podium with Ligier in 1982, peaking with second at Detroit. He joined Alain Prost at Renault the following year but could not live the mercurial Frenchman despite enjoying his most successful year. Two years with the Benetton-Alfa Romeo team and three with Arrows followed but his biggest success was not in F1 but in Indycar when he won the 1998 Indy 500.
