Dutch Grand Prix, Zandvoort, 1979

Jacques Laffite, Ligier JS11 (3rd place)
Jochen Mass, Arrows (6th place)

Gilles Villeneuve, Ferrari 312 T4 (DNF)

Jacques Laffite and Ligier are practically synonymous. Both are often mentioned in the same breath. Laffite achieved six of the nine Grand Prix victories for Guy Ligier's team.

The 1979 season got off to an excellent start for the Laffite-Ligier JS 11 pairing. They won the first two Grand Prixs, and the team continued to achieve success in the remaining races of the first half of the year. However, over the course of the season, Ferrari with Scheckter and Villeneuve, and Williams with Alan Jones, overtook Laffite and Depailler in the Ligiers in the World Championship standings. The JS 11's perfect aerodynamics generated such high downforce that the aluminum chassis couldn't withstand it, deforming during the race, and thus the skirts could no longer maintain the desired contact with the road surface – the downforce effect that pressed the car to the ground was increasingly lost during the race. Towards the halfway point of the World Championship, the JS 11 was no longer capable of winning. This watercolor shows Laffite next to Jochen Mass's Arrows A30 at the 1979 Zandvoort Grand Prix. In the background are Gilles Villeneuve in a Ferrari, René Arnoux in a Renault, and Nelson Piquet in a Brabham.
