Formula 1 1978: Magic Mario

1978: Ferrari and Lauda had now gone their separate ways. Lauda moved to Brabham and Ferrari took on the young Gilles Villeneuve. Frank Williams and Patrick Head formed Williams Grand Prix Engineering and mounted their first title challenge with Alan Jones in the driving seat. The Lotus Type 79 'Wing Car' was regarded as the best outfit, piloted by the experienced pairing of Mario Andretti and Ronnie Peterson. And with two rounds left to race, it was only Peterson that had any chance of catching Andretti. Then tragedy struck, ending Team Lotus's dream season and confirming the title for Andretti.
