5 Times Gilles Villeneuve seemed the greatest

Gilles Villeneuve won only six of his 67 grands prix and has not a single world championship to his name. History, though, goes beyond numbers and will remember the diminutive French Canadian as one of the sport's greatest competitors.
Perhaps Villeneuve's finest moment was his performance in a sodden practice session for the US Grand Prix East at Watkins Glen in 1979. His Ferrari team-mate Jody Scheckter, the new world champion, was confident of being comfortably fastest, until he looked at the timesheets; Villeneuve was over 9.5 seconds quicker.
A horrific accident in qualifying for the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix ultimately claimed Villeneuve's life.

Speaking at his funeral Scheckter said: "I will miss Gilles for two reasons. First, he was the fastest driver in the history of motor racing. Second, he was the most genuine man I have ever known."

"His car control was extraordinary, ever compared with the many talented drivers I have had the opportunity to drive against over the years. He drove a Grand Prix car to the absolute limit of its ability." - Jackie Stewart on Gilles Villeneuve


Tom Birchenough
Gilles Villeneuve: a man who was born to race,a fantastic driver with courage and balls of steel. He would do stuff i think Senna would never do. Thats why he was one of the best. No matter what happened to the car,if his front wing was making him race blind or driving on 2-3 wheels,nothing would hold him back. Great respect for Gilles. RIP

Gilles Villeneuve and Ayrton Senna...a brief comparison

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT9XytcT74c

Both were VERY good in the wet.
I have seen the Senna video on Tampa Racing. Senna could get within 3" of the
guardrail when others were 6" away. It was said that Senna sometimes passed Through the guardrail.

In the Senna video (go searching for it) Yes, it DOES look like he passes through the guardrail.
