[#ligier50years - Story #15] After Patrick Depailler’s deltaplane accident, it was Jacky Ickx 🇫🇷 who filled in for the rest of the 1979 season. When he arrived at Ligier, he was 34 with 2 runner-up World Championship positions and 8 GP victories for Ferrari. Hit-and-miss season with Ligier with 5 retirements due to mechanical issues and punctures. He marked 3 points (P6 at Silverstone, P5 at Zandwoort) after good races with great comebacks. He stopped the F1 at the end of the season and went on to endurance racing and rally raid. He clinched 6 victories at Le Mans earning the nickname of “Monsieur Le Mans”
