40 years ago, in May 1982, Formula 1 lost a marvellous maverick.
No-one else drove a car quite like Gilles Villeneuve. He lost his
life in a crash while at the very peak of his racing powers. In
this special episode, those who knew Gilles share their memories
and stories with Tom Clarkson. F1 World Champions Mario Andretti
and Jody Scheckter and 7-time Grand Prix winner Rene Arnoux raced
alongside Villeneuve and were close to him as friends. Jonathan
Giacobazzi idolised Gilles; his family’s name appeared as a
sponsor on the Canadian’s race suit, and their families travelled
the racetracks of Europe together. Jochen Mass was also a good
friend of Villeneuve – a fact that makes his blameless
involvement in the crash which claimed his life even more tragic.
They remember Gilles as a person, a teammate, a rival and a
friend, and consider why he is still so adored, 40 years after
his death.
