The Alfa Romeo 179 is a Formula One car which was used (in different variants) by the Alfa Romeo team from 1979 to 1982. The 179 made its debut at 1979 Italian Grand Prix, replacing the flat-12 engined Alfa Romeo 177. During its lifespan there were many versions and 179D version was used for the last last time at the 1982 South African Grand Prix.
At the beginning of the 1981 season, the 179s were fitted with adjustable dampers and denoted as 179C.
A lower 179D was the next evolution and the final version was the fully carbon-fibre 179F. Alfa Romeo suffered a sad loss when Patrick Depailler was killed while testing the car at Hockenheim in 1980.
The 179's best achievements were Bruno Giacomelli's pole position at the 1980 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen and 3rd place in the 1981 Las Vegas Grand Prix. The car scored 14 points from 61 races.
