If the Canadian Grand Prix organisers had written their own script for the inaugural Formula 1 race at their new Montreal circuit, they could not have asked for more.
The 26-year-old Quebecois, Gilles Villeneuve, had the crowd dancing for joy as he clinched his first ever GP victory at his home track - exactly a year after he joined the Ferrari team.
What is more, the naturalised Canadian entrant, Walter Wolf, who won the event last year, made it a one-two for 'Team Canada' when his driver, Jody Scheckter, brought the Wolf home in second place, 12.3secs behind Villeneuve.
