Villeneuve being Villeneuve

An excelent video showing a bit of what Gilles Villeneuve was capable of in the Canadian GP. This video is from the 1981 race, where he finished third despite the situation shown below.

Any driver that drives with a broken front wing blocking his vision, and in a wet track couldn't be considered only a good or even an excellent driver. Gilles was really way up that definitions.


And in fact Gilles holds with him until today the feat of being the only canadian driver that won the Canadian GP. Salut Gilles.
