Motor racing: Scheckter turns back time at Monza, 40 years on

MONZA, Italy: South African Jody Scheckter took a quick trip down memory lane on Friday by powering his 1979 Ferrari around the fearsomely fast Monza circuit where he won the Formula One world championship four decades ago.

Villeneuve, who never won the title that he richly deserved but whose son Jacques was crowned with Williams in 1997, died in a crash during practice for the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix.Ferrari did not win another championship until Michael Schumacher ended the long title drought with the third of his seven in 2000.

"If they can get the little bits and pieces together, they can win the championship ," said Scheckter, who won three races in his title year and retired in 1980.
