Description
Gilles Villeneuve's Formula 1 career was marked by his fearless driving style and charismatic personality. This book sheds new light on the life of the Canadian racing legend through 48 interviews with those who knew him best, including his Ferrari team-mates, opponents, journalists, and family members. Villeneuve's time in F1 was cut short after just 67 grands prix between 1977 and 1982. Yet, his impact on the sport has endured, thanks to a tribute from author Károly Méhes. The book features stunning action and behind-the-scenes photographs, many of which have never been seen before. Through these interviews and images, Villeneuve's story is told in vivid detail, revealing a man who gave everything for his beloved sport, ultimately losing his life in the process.
