His single classified finish came in 1965, when he crossed the line in seventeenth place. Across his three entries in the sport's premier category, he did not score a point or reach the podium.[1]
The calibre of Bussinello's competition in Formula 1 was that of world championship contenders; he shared the grid with drivers of the era's highest standard. On one occasion he finished ahead of Richie Ginther, a front-running professional who would compete at the world championship level for many years. Bussinello also drove for De Tomaso-Alfa Romeo in two of his starts, a team whose entries in this database show no race victories and whose strongest driver on record was Nino Vaccarella. His average finishing position across his career was thirteenth, reflecting the difficulty he faced in sustaining competitive results at Formula 1 level. Bussinello retired from racing after 1965.[2]
