Jody David Scheckter (born 29 January 1950 in East London, South Africa) is a South African former Formula One driver world champion, winning his first title in 1976.
Formula One
1976
Jody Scheckter entered the 1976 season with Scuderia Ferrari alongside defending champion and close personal friend Niki Lauda. His season began well, taking the flag at the season-opening Argentine Grand Prix following an engine failure from his pole-sitting teammate.
Unfortunately the next round - his home Grand Prix at Kyalami - was somewhat of a disaster, retiring from a near-thirty second lead with a transmission failure.
A pole and win at Long Beach was followed by second places in Spain and Monaco.
Following the death of teammate Niki Lauda at the Soviet Grand Prix, Ferrari withdrew from the French Grand Prix - before returning to the championship at Brands Hatch with Patrick Depailler in Lauda's place. With Lauda out of the title picture, the battle for championship honours would now be fought between Scheckter and McLaren's Carlos Reutemann.
Scheckter and Ferrari returned to form after Britain, taking a win in Germant and following Depailler home to an emotional one-two finish in Austria.
A transmission failure at Zandvoort was requited for in the Scuderia's home race at Monza with Scheckter leading home yet another one-two finish in front of the adoring tifosi - despite contact with a swerving Hans-Joachim Stuck early on.
In the final three rounds, Scheckter could only muster a solitary finish - a second place at Watkins Glen. At the season-ending Japanese Grand Prix, Scheckter would leap into the lead of the race at the beginning before a suspension failure seemingly consigning the championship to his Argentinian rival Carlos Reutemann. For much of the early stages of the race Reutemann held the lead but a miraculous suspension failure on the Argentine's McLaren M23 forced a retirement - meaning the driver's title would be returning to Maranello for a second year running - albeit in the hands of Jody Scheckter.
An emotional Scheckter collected his trophy at the FIA Awards Gala in Monaco, clutching an Austrian and South African flag - dedicating his championship victory to his fallen teammate.
1977
Scheckter entered 1977 as defending champion.
