Formula 1 1979 - USA West GP - Villeneuve Wins Again - F1 Highlights

The 1979 United States Grand Prix West at Long Beach turned into a wild and unpredictable Formula 1 showdown, filled with pre-race confusion, dramatic collisions, and brilliant displays of driving skill. Even before the green light, chaos unfolded when Carlos Reutemann’s Lotus suffered an electrical failure, forcing him to start from the pitlane. On the grid, Gilles Villeneuve overshot his starting position, prompting an extra formation lap and delaying the race start. When the lights finally went out, Villeneuve launched perfectly, leading into Queen’s Hairpin ahead of teammate Jody Scheckter, while Patrick Depailler stayed close behind in third. 👉Support our Channel by checking out our picks for Motorsport Fans in Racing & Beyond Website: 👉https://racingbeyond.com/racing-gadgets From the opening corners, the race was already filled with tension. Behind the Ferraris, Patrick Tambay collided with Jan Lammers, launching his McLaren into the air before landing on Niki Lauda’s Brabham, taking both out instantly. Despite the chaos, Villeneuve pulled clear from Depailler and Scheckter, who battled fiercely in the early laps. Further back, Jean-Pierre Jarier began to climb through the field, overtaking Scheckter and then Depailler to secure second, though Villeneuve maintained a three-second advantage out front. By lap twenty, Villeneuve’s dominance became clear as he began to extend his lead, while Jarier struggled with tire wear, allowing Scheckter to reclaim second place. Mario Andretti, Alan Jones, and Nelson Piquet engaged in a tight fight for fourth, but Jones impressed the most, overtaking Andretti with a clean move at the hairpin in front of the team’s sponsors. Attrition soon hit hard — Reutemann, James Hunt, and Emerson Fittipaldi all retired with mechanical problems, while Jochen Mass battled severe grip issues in his Arrows. As the race entered its final stages, tire degradation reshuffled the order once again. Jarier dropped back due to vibrations, allowing Depailler, Jones, and Andretti to fight over the final podium spot. When the trio encountered lapped traffic, Jones seized the moment, diving past Depailler to take third. Depailler then lost fourth gear late in the race, enabling Andretti to overtake, while Héctor Rebaque’s strong run ended in the barriers after contact with Derek Daly. In the closing laps, Gilles Villeneuve was untouchable, setting a new lap record and cruising to a commanding victory, over 30 seconds clear of Scheckter. Alan Jones completed the podium after an aggressive yet calculated drive, with Andretti and Depailler rounding out the top five. Jean-Pierre Jarier, despite a pit stop, salvaged sixth. Villeneuve’s flawless performance at Long Beach cemented his reputation as one of the sport’s most naturally gifted talents and gave Ferrari another powerful statement early in the 1979 season. 📌Racing & Beyond Website: https://racingbeyond.com/ 📌 Check How Jackie Stewart Transformed F1:    • The Invention of the Modern Driver: How Ja...   👉 Watch more legendary F1 Races, F1 Highlights and F1 Documentaries in our full historic playlist here:    • Formula 1   👉Check the other races from this incredible 1979 season: Round 1 - Argentine GP:    • Formula 1 1979 Argentine GP - Laffite’s St...   Round 2 - Brazilian GP:    • Formula 1 1979 Brazilian GP - Ligier Shine...   Round 3 - South African GP:    • Formula 1 1979 South African GP - Villeneu...   Round 4 - USA West GP:    • Formula 1 1979 - USA West GP - Villeneuve ...   Race of Champions:    • Formula 1 1979 - Race of Champions GP - F1...   Round 5 - Spanish GP:    • Formula 1 1979 Spanish GP - Depailler Domi...   Round 6 - Belgian GP:    • Formula 1 1979 Belgian GP - Scheckter’s Ro...   Round 7 - Monaco GP:    • Formula 1 1979 Monaco GP - Scheckter’s Mas...   Round 8 - French GP:    • Formula 1 1979 French GP - Turbo's First V...   Round 9 - British GP:    • Formula 1 1979 British GP - Williams’ Firs...   Round 10 - German GP:    • Formula 1 1979 German GP - Alan Jones Take...   Round 11 - Austrian GP:    • Formula 1 1979 Austrian GP - Alan Jones Cr...   Round 12 - Dutch GP:    • Formula 1 1979 Dutch GP - Jones Wins, But ...   Round 13 - Italian GP:    • Formula 1 1979 Italian GP - Ferrari’s Glor...   Imola Non Championship Race:    • Formula 1 1979 Imola GP - Villeneuve vs. L...   Round 14 - Canadian GP:    • Formula 1 1979 Canadian GP - Alan Jones vs...   Round 15 - USA East GP:    • Formula 1 1979 USA East GP - Rain, Crashes...   #F1 #Formula1 #F11979 #LongBeachGP #GillesVilleneuve #Ferrari #FerrariF1 #F1History #ClassicF1 #VintageF1 #F1Legends #FormulaOne #F1USA #LongBeach1979 #F1Highlights #F1Race #RacingHistory #F1Heritage #JodyScheckter #Ferrari312T4 #F1ClassicMoments #F1OldSchool #F1Nostalgia #F1Throwback #F1Documentary #Formula1Stories
