The 1979 Grand Prix de France duel between Gilles Villeneuve & René Arnoux was a battle for second place. The final lap became a breathtaking display of daring and car control with Villeneuve ultimately crossing the finish line in 2nd place, 0.24s ahead of Arnoux. #gilles27

At the 1981 #CanadianGP, Gilles Villeneuve damaged the front wing of his Ferrari and drove for most of the race with the wing obscuring his view. Eventually the wing detached and Villeneuve drove on to finish third with the nose section of his car missing. #gilles27#salutgilles
At the 1979 #CanadianGP, Gilles finished 2nd. The race featured a fierce battle with Alan Jones with Gilles. His sheer tenacity in keeping up with an undoubtedly quicker Williams car led Jones to exclaim after the race: "Jeez, this little guy just won’t give up". #gilles27
