After a solid graduation from the lower formulas (he placed fifth in the 1976 European Formula Two season), Ribeiro paid for his drive in the March Formula One team for the 1977 season (main sponsors were Caixa Econômica Federal-a Brazilian bank and Souza Cruz-a tobacco company).

However, the season turned into a nightmare. March owner Max Mosley (later FIA president) hired four drivers, and the team simply could not provide for them all. Ribeiro's reputation as a driver suffered. Ribeiro drove a March for a full season in 1977, but he suffered a horrible start to the year, retiring from his first four races and failing to qualify for his next six. His first finish came in the form of an eighth place in the German Grand Prix. He greatly improved on his performance, and ended the year with finishes in four of the five last races.
