Jean-Pierre Jabouille is a French ex-F1 driver who raced in the Formula 1 World Championship between 1974 and 1981. Renowned for his testing and development abilities, he spearheaded Renault’s first efforts in Formula One during the 1970s and delivered the French marque’s first win at the 1979 French Grand Prix. Unfortunately, following a move to the Ligier team, he was forced to call time on his career early due to injuries he sustained in the 1980 Canadian Grand Prix.
