The Ferrari 126 C arrived in 1980 with something completely new under the bodywork: a 1.5-litre turbocharged V6, developed for what would become a new era of Formula 1.
Gilles Villeneuve was one of the drivers who helped develop it, at a time when the car was still fast, difficult and constantly evolving.
It wasn’t yet the Ferrari that would win in Monaco and Spain the following year, but the direction was already clear.
