So sad. Such a tragic loss of the two of them😭

Gilles Villeneuve: “ When I was behind Jody, in South Africa in 79, I overtook him only when he went into the pits. When I was in Monza, which was the last possibility for me, my last chance of becoming world champion, I stayed behind Jody without even trying to overtake him. When I was in Monte Carlo, when I was in Monte Carlo, my gearbox failed but, before that happened, Jody was driving slowly because he had the advantage but I never tried to overtake him. Here, instead it was different. When the slow down sign is out, I slow down, making the other drivers slow down too. And then, Didier overtook me and if you look at the lap times for Imola, every time that I’m in front I lap at 37.5 to 37.8 to save petrol and the engine also because I have a 45 second lead over Alboreto. When Pironi is leading, we lap at 35.5”. Obviously, the slow panel and the directives of the scuderia, Pironi had nothing to do with it.

Exactly.

They were going to run out of fuel that's why gilles started to slow. Pironi just stole the victory at the last chance at a overtake. What really bothered gilles I think is when the team did not back him up. Until much later on. They understood the slow sigh when the Renaults went out. Poor Pironi he was never going to out shine gilles. And never did. As for zolder. Mass should never have moved. Gilles saw mass long before mass saw gilles. And was going much faster. Gilles had it worked out the line he was going to make. This accident had nothing to do with pironi.

@paulo9504

Mass saw Villeneuve bearing down on him so he moved off the racing line to let him through. Mass did what an experienced driver should of done in that instance. Unfortunately, Villeneuve made the wrong decision in that moment. It is possible that Villeneuve thought he was coming up on Mass's rookie teammate, Raul Boesel, and figured he wasn't using his mirrors and would keep on putzing around on the racing line. Gilles was coming in the pits that lap. Any other driver probably would have bailed out in that situation and live to fight another day. Not Gilles, not his style. I remember Villeneuve as a kid and he was a crazy daredevil, never give up no matter what. Took a lot of risks and trashed a lot cars. 1982 was shaping up to possibly be his year. Ferrari had finally given him a really good chassis, the 126C2, for the first time so it was pretty sad how it all ended. However, should anyone had been surprised that it ended the way it did for Gilles? He wrote quite few checks that he was able to cash but wrote one too many at Zolder that day.

+Gilles Newton No, the Ferraris had plenty of fuel at the end. At least, Pironi's car did - for the simple reason the first half of the race was run so conservatively. With several FOCA teams boycotting Imola that year, the Ferrari and Renault drivers made an agreement before the race - hold station for the first half, then race flat out in the second half. As for Pironi "stealing" the win - I've never bought that argument. Pironi was actually leading on the penultimate lap but Gilles overtook him at Tosa. Pironi merely returned the compliment a lap later at the same point as there was no team instruction for Gilles to win. If anyone triggered the dogfight at Imola it was actually Gilles. He took the lead when Arnoux retired but on the following lap he made a mistake at Rivazza, gifting the lead to Pironi. But Gilles refused to accept second, pushed hard and eventually overtook Pironi on lap 48. Lots of people tend to ignore this important fact.

El Indio This is what I have never understood and I’m old enough to remember the whole thing. I was the biggest of Villeneuve fans but I never held any grudge against Pironi, as so many do. When Villeneuve died I simply transferred my allegiance to Pironi. Going into this race, the two drivers had scored one point between them and it was Pironi’s. There were, in effect, no points to protect, no lead to defend and certainly no win by right of passage. No racing driver should ever agree to that. The other thing is that the concept of “team orders” in the sense that most people mean it, is anachronistic. It is a modern concept from the Schumacher era. Such things existed - Andretti and Peterson in 1978 - but were comparatively rare. There was a convention that team mates should avoid behaviour that would lead to damage in those circumstances but a pre race agreement between Villeneuve, Pironi, Arnoux and Prost had pretty much invalidated that convention. Enzo Ferrari, despite ultimately apologising to Villeneuve for the confusion, would not have agreed to a mere procession and certainly not at that part of the season. What racer would? He believed that internal rivalry was good for the drivers, though it had at least as many bad points as good. Ferrari’s Machiavellian meddling and subterfuge cost him whole championships.

@@thethirdman225 Even Harvey Postlethwaite, who designed the Ferrari 126C2 and who was well away from the Ferrari politics at Maranello, said Gilles' view - that he was entitled to win at Imola - had no basis, and Postlethwaite was very fond of the Canadian. There were many mis-truths told about this race and sadly, over the years, they've taken on a life of their own and are now stated as fact. I was depressed to watch a Peter Windsor tribute about Gilles here on youtube, hearing Peter talk about how Gilles was "betrayed" by Pironi - and this is Peter Windsor! Yet it's absolutely clear there was no team order for Gilles to win (it was only the fourth race of the season and Pironi had equal status with Gilles which people seem to overlook) and that Gilles showed as much aggression to win the race as Pironi by attacking his team-mate after that mistake at Rivazza.

DIDIER PIRONI - would be nice not butchering his name in such awful way !

Gilles was outstanding. Pironi was amazingly fast. Simple as that.

Gilles won 6 races. At a time F1 was already quite sophisticated. Stirling Moss won 16 times driving in far more dangerous times. Get over the Gilles hype already. If Montoya god forbid was killed in early 2000s I doubt anyone would be canonising him as much. He was a reckless driver. Disregarded his own safety first. Hardly a hero. Also people question why skirts and ground effect were banned. They were banned because certain drivers felt laws of physics don't apply to them any more to grave effect.

Villeneuve, I remember him well and fondly. He was fast and exciting and people loved that. He also never gave up and tried to win every lap. That endeared him to fans. His car control was quite amazing, Ronnie Peterson level full throttle opposite lock slides through the corners. Always teetering on the edge. Unfortunately, his best chance in F1 was probably 1982. Ferrari finally had a super good chassis for him. The previous cars were not that great. The 312T4 in 1979 wasn't anything really special. The flat 12 and Michelins gave that car its main advantage. By the end of 1979, the Williams FW07 was the fastest car in F1 and T4 was near obsolete. The 126C2 was Villeneuve's best shot at a title. Wasn't meant to be. I would say anyone who won 6 F1 races in a relatively short career, such as his, was far from being overrated. Pironi won 3 F1 races in the same span as Villeneuve.
