Monaco represents a special challenge, unique within the 21 circuits now making up the Formula One World Championship, writes Sir Patrick Head. The track is narrow, bounded by Armco barrier and stone kerbs, winding around the normally quiet Principality. Tensions are high for drivers and team members as the smallest error can have major consequences, and everyone knows that winning at Monaco is something special – victory means more than at other venues.

Jody was determined to show that he had not made an error in changing team, and hurled the 1976 Wolf (née Hesketh 308C) to a lap time that would have put it high on the grid for the following GP. Needless to say, with the regular drivers the car qualiﬁed on the last row. I was impressed.

He is still active with Renault, using qualifying time (although it was made irrelevant by the other session his vast experience to help them to achieve front being dry). He went on to ﬁnish seventh in the race, a points-scoring running levels, intending to raise them into the position in current terms. His talent was clear, as is also shown by his small band of three teams leading the pack. Sports Car World Championship victory that year.
