		Perhaps his greatest achievements came in 1981, where he wrestled an unwieldy turbo Ferrari to victory in the Monaco Grand Prix, followed by a classic of defensive driving at the Spanish Grand Prix, keeping 5 quicker cars behind him using his tactical acumen and the superior straightline speed of his car.
		After glimpses of promise in the opening races, Villeneuve was back at the front for the San Marino Grand Prix, only for his team-mate Didier Pironi to disobey team orders and beat him to the line.
