The 1980 Season
Alan Jones gave Williams its first drivers' championship in 1980, the tough Australian dominating in the ground-effect FW07. Williams also claimed its maiden constructors' title, announcing the team's arrival as a major force.
Jones held off Brabham's Nelson Piquet in a hard-fought campaign. The result confirmed the shift of competitive power toward the British garagiste teams who had mastered ground-effect aerodynamics.
