Despite the Ferrari pair of Jody Scheckter and Gilles Villeneuve taking just one pole position, the Ferrari 312T4 won 6 races during the season and was clear winner of the Constructors’ Championship. Although Scheckter led for far less laps than Villeneuve, he won the Drivers’ title on Canadian soil in the penultimate race. Alan Jones in the Williams-Cosworth FW07 came third in the drivers’ points with 4 victories and with a further win by Clay Regazzoni, Williams was runner up constructor.
