Jacques Villeneuve was just 12 when his father – swashbuckling
fan favourite Gilles Villeneuve – was killed in practice for the
Belgian Grand Prix. You might have thought that would turn the
Canadian away from pursuing a racing career of his own, but
instead Jacques climbed – unconventionally – all the way to the
top of the Grand Prix tree, winning the F1 world title his father
was never able to in 1997.

In this week’s episode of Beyond The Grid, presented by
Bose, the famously non-conformist Villeneuve discusses that
meteoric rise, the traits he inherited from his father, battling
Michael Schumacher, stealing Damon Hill’s dinner, and much, much
more!
