Although Jacques has four children, we must keep an eye on the little Villeneuve. Born in Italy with the name of a highly acclaimed Ferrari driver and with the title in his blood? We could be witnessing the birth of the next F1 star.

Remembering Ferrari F1 legend Gilles Villeneuve

Although Gilles spent a small six years in the sport and won only six races, his name lives on in F1. The Aviator knew how to put on a show. His exceptional driving style and inspiring zeal shone through on the racetrack.

Niki Lauda had praised the daredevil of F1. “He was the craziest devil I ever came across in F1. The fact that, for all this, he was a sensitive and lovable character rather than an out-and-out hell-raiser made him such a unique human being.”

Villeneuve would often find himself all over the circuit on non-race days; although it looked like a mess from the outside, it was just the driver testing his limits for the race on Sunday. Villeneuve was notorious, but one of the best.

Always flat out, always pushing the boundaries, let’s hope to see the legend come alive in Gilles Villeneuve Jr.
