Gianclaudio Giuseppe "Clay" Regazzoni (born 5th September, 1939 in Mendrisio, Switzerland, died 15th December, 2006 in Fontevivo, Italy) was an Swiss racing driver known for his appearances in Formula One. Throughout his career he was known for his hard charging driving style - which earned him great respect amongst his peers.

Formula One

1976-: Williams

By 1976, Regazzoni was out of a drive in Formula One - having to wait until the fifth round of the season, where he'd replace Patrick Nève at Wolf-Williams after an underwhelming start to the season. Williams' belief in Regazzoni paid off very quickly, taking a third place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix. Unfortunately, points finishes were few and far between after this podium and he'd finish the season in 13th overall.

1977 came around and Regazzoni was still at Williams and in a much better position than before. Being joined by talented Australian Alan Jones and campaigning an upgraded FW05B, he was able to easily score points in the early stages of the season - his best result being another third place at the United States Grand Prix West.
