	Atlas F1 Focus: Jacques Laffite at Austria
		Laffite immediately dropped down the order all the way to the back with wheel problems, while his teammate initially got off to a good start, only to retire halfway through the race with fuel pressure trouble.
		Laffite was fast right from the outset and turned in the fifth fastest time in the first qualifying session.
		For Jacques Laffite the race appeared to be over soon after as he dropped back to the rear of the field after only two laps when he pitted for slicks.

	The Ligier Episode
		Jacques Laffite was convinced : "Didier surely is as fast as Depailler, so I'll have to try hard to beat him." And so he did, although Didier was only 2/10 of a second slower than Laffite meaning a third place on the grid.
		At Kyalami Didier once again stood behind Laffite, even overslept the start, but was able to fight his way back to the front again and to finally accomplish his first place on the podium for Team Bleu.
		These two also dominated the race at the Circuit Paul Ricard but due to tyre problems they had to be content with the second (Didier) and third (Laffite) place and had to leave the victory to Jones who began to pull ahead in the championship.

		Jacques might have been glad to sit out the race, though, for it was held in horrendously difficult wet conditions, in which Patrese spun off but Gilles charged through to claim 3rd place behind John Watson's McLaren and Jacques Laffite's Talbot Ligier.
		Jacques Villeneuve was probably never in contention for a full-time F1 ride, and his two entries for Arrows at the end of 1981 were probably no more than a time-filling exercise as the team regrouped for 1982.
		Jacques had a brief test at Mosport to familiarise himself with the car, and in free practice was setting some respectable times.

		French racing star Jacques Laffite has been brought back to Formula 1 racing to act as a public relations man for the Ligier team.
		Laffite's involvement with Ligier dates back to 1976 when he was chosen by Guy Ligier to be the team's first F1 driver and in 1977 won the team's first GP in Sweden.
		At the same time, the arrival of Laffite will stop rumors that Alain Prost is trying to take over the team, as it is well known that Prost and Laffite fell out some years ago and are no longer the big buddies they once were.

		It may not be published in English, but Jacques Laffite, et Courir de Plaisir (and racing for pleasure) is essentially a pictorial work, so schoolboy French should get you through the text: in case it doesn't, there's an English appendix.
		The author takes us through Laffite's career, from his early days as Jean-Pierre Jabouille's mechanic, with rare photographs which you are unlikely to have seen before.
		This work also reminds you just how prolific a racer Laffite was - and not just in terms of grand prix starts.

		Despite this current shortage of Frenchmen behind the wheel of a Formula One car, the race will give France the chance to remember its proud racing heritage - and some of the great drivers it has produced in the past.
		Alain Prost and Jean Alesi are two celebrated French drivers that immediately spring to mind, but often overlooked outside of his native country is Jacques Lafitte, who started the third-highest number of Formula One races - a grand total of 176.
		The Frenchman enjoyed an exceptionally long and occasionally successful Formula One career, and was one of the paddock's favourite characters during the time he spent as a driver for Williams and Ligier.

		A native of nearby Berthierville, he won at Trois-Rivieres in Formula Fords in 1973 and went on to dominate Formula Atlantic in the mid-'70s.
		He beat Hunt, Laffite & Co. at Trois-Rivieres in `76 with such pinache, that the Englishman declared him a future world champion.
		The race was revived in 1989 and, fittingly, was won by Villeneuve's brother Jacques (Gilles' son--and future World Champion--Jacques, led 33 laps at Trois-Rivieres in `93 but failed to finish).
