Wolf was a team founded by the Canadian-Austrian businessman Walter Wolf, which raced in Formula 1 from 1976 to 1979. Jody Scheckter won the first race for the new team, at the 1977 Argentine Grand Prix, and went on to win 3 races in all, including Monaco and Canada, finishing second in the 1977 drivers' championship. Keke Rosberg and James Hunt also drove for the team, which started 60 Grands Prix before merging with Fittipaldi.
