GILLES VILLENEUVE BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
Gilles Villeneuve (January 18, 1950 - May 8, 1982) was born in the small town of Berthierville, Quebec, Canada. Gilles Villeneuve was a world renowned Formula One race car driver.
His first Formula One win came in his native Province of Quebec, Canada in the 1978 Canadian Grand Prix, held in Montreal. All told in his short career, Gilles Villeneuve won six Grand Prix races. In 1979 Gilles Villeneuve finished second in the championship to teammate Jody Scheckter.
Remembered for his frenetic style which seemed more like that of a rally driver, his wheel-banging duel with Renי Arnoux in the last laps of Dijon 1979 Grand Prix was one of the most intense moments in Formula one racing. Despite this, his six Grand Prix wins represent some of the most tactically astute and mechanically sensitive in the history of the sport. Perhaps his greatest achievements came in 1981, where Gilles Villeneuve wrestled an unwieldy turbo Ferrari to victory at Monaco, followed by a classic of defensive driving at the Spanish Grand Prix, keeping 5 quicker cars behind him using his tactical acumen and the superior straighline speed of his car. |
