The 1981 Canadian Grand Prix saluted what was to be Jacques Laffite’s sixth and final win in Formula 1, but the race will always be remembered for Gilles Villeneuve’s heroic drive.
On Lap 40, Villeneuve tried to pass Elio de Angelis who was a lap down in his Lotus. However, the two cars collided, breaking the front wing of the Ferrari, which remained attached to the car. The wing kept moving and suddenly, it began to fold up over the cockpit of the Ferrari. That didn’t bother Villeneuve at all.

With eight laps to go, the strong airflow finally dislodged the broken wing, which flew away. Villeneuve managed to keep running until the chequered despite the fact that he had lost all front downforce.
Laffite crossed the line in first place, 6.2s in front of Watson and almost two minutes ahead of Villeneuve. All other finishers were at least one lap down. Laffite celebrated his victory, but the man of the day was undoubtedly Gilles Villeneuve.
