Williams won 6 races out of 14, and the world title went to Alan Jones.
In 1980 Williams, with Alan Jones and Carlos Reutemann, won six races and the first Constructors’ Championship in their history. Jones won five races and fought for the title with Nelson Piquet in a Brabham.
The decisive race was the Canadian Grand Prix: Jones and Piquet collided at the start, the race was restarted, Piquet’s engine failed in his spare car, and Jones won and clinched the title early. He also won the last race of the season, at Watkins Glen.
