1979

The 1979 Formula 1 World Championship is a thrilling season defined by intense rivalry and a dramatic conclusion. Jody Scheckter, driving for Ferrari, wins his first and only World Championship title. The South African driver demonstrates consistency and skill, securing victories in races like the Belgian, Monaco, and Italian Grands Prix. Scheckter's strong performances, combined with the reliability of the Ferrari 312T4, allow him to stay ahead in the points standings throughout the season. The championship battle is closely contested by Alan Jones of the Williams team and Jacques Laffite of Ligier, but Scheckter’s ability to finish strong in crucial races secures him the title.
