It’s so reminding of Arnoux vs Gilleneuve, great racing !
This seems to be the inspiration for 'Anything you do, I can do better!'
Entertainment at its peak
Man this rivalry ended tragically..
Quite frankly – knowing what happened id rather not see these two racing together. 🙁
Ferrari has never been nice to eachother
Io ero presente alla gara ! Per colpa di Pironi che non rispetto’ la decisione del team inizio l’odio da parte di Villenevue ne confronti del Francese traditore.
L’unica volta che Forghieri non era presente ai box ! Da lì finisce la storia di due grandi piloti !
Ferrari had ordered both drivers to slow down. Villeneuve interpreted this as an order to maintain position on the track; Pironi did not and thus overtook Villeneuve on the final lap, infuriating the Canadian to the point that he vowed never to speak to Pironi again. Pironi's pass on Villeneuve is considered to be one of the most controversial moments in Formula One. Villeneuve would lose his life in a crash during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix two weeks later.
Dts fans would go mental those times.. 😂
Poetry in a racetrack
Ferrari gave the slow board.
Villeneuve interpreted it as "Hold position"
Pironi interpreted it as "Race, but don't overdrive and crash each other out."
Gilles would die at Zolder, and Didier would smash both of his legs at Hockenheim, I believe. Pironi's two kids would be named "Gilles" and "Didier"
Pls upload full race
I'll always defend my Peroni… 😅
One of the saddest things in f1
Cool to see the vintage clips on the channel
Before ❎
Beefoha ✅
Warum hat der eine einen frontflügel und der andere nicht ?
Cowardly betrayal !!
Look at how far forward the driver sits in the car! Feet well past the front wheel center line. All praise to today’s safety standards.
Great battle though and no DRS.
Io c'ero
The car in front is unique apart from the car behind which is identical
Pironí😡
Ayuda Expertos en f1, este video explica las diferencias entre pilotos que se sienten comodos con el subviraje del sobreviraje? Porque suena una locura manejar imola sin aleron delantero cuando no es un circuito con muchas rectas.
Is on me
Didier was a b.
one race later 😢😢
When would watch in Canada on CBC mature commentators
Kind of hard to appreciate while knowing what this rivalry led to
Ways to differentiate drivers in the same team:
Helmet
Car number
Wether you have a front wing or not
I was there. Seen it and heard it live
This race indirectly caused both of them to die
karma got pironi and he also died in racing
The truly sad thing is what happened two weeks after that
Foi aí que o Gilles começou a morrer😢😢
Dizem que Roland Ratzenberg, morreu porque o carro perdeu a asa dianteira e ficou sem controle,como o Villeneuve pilotou na mesma pista, passou pela mesma curva do acidente,com sua Ferrari sem a asa dianteira sendo mais rápido que o Pirroni.
Most tragic rivallry in F1 history one lost his life the next weekend the other lost his career and his legs the same year and after some time he too died
