The Legendary Villeneuve - Arnoux battle at Dijon 1979

[dpforth]

Never get tired of watching that. The F1 equivalent to Edwards-Bayliss, WSB Imola 2002

Classic battle by 2 great drivers. I wish F1 was still this good today.

0:04 - Lol, it's as if Villeneuve just thought to himself, "Am I close enough? Bah, fuck it! I'm Gilles Villeneuve!" *Throws it up the inside with both front wheels locked*

[Mikosyko]

The sad thing is if this was tried today the drivers would be slapped with a black flag. Stupid.

@Mikosyko Right, there would be a "Incident involving cars 12 and 16 is under investigation by the stewards" message flashing all over the screen, heavy fines for both Villeneuve and Arnoux plus a possible 10 position grid penalty for the following race to each one... that's why F-1 is so boring these days - no battles allowed, only lame DRS-driven passing moves

3 minutes that are part of history of racing. No words

[Noctilux2]

EPIC!

incredible

I wish we could see more battles like this one today, but the rules have restricted the car development way too much. Moreover, we need more drivers like Villeneuve... but I guess that kind of drivers is extinted

[pliniocscj]

@scalextric59 We have kind of a "racer" in Hamilton, and look what the FIA does to him: fines, penalties, censorship, etcetera. It is not about car development, is about those damn stewards penalising everyone who attempts to "race" instead of just "cruise"...

[dpforth]

@pliniocscj Not quite, no one got punted off in this epic battle. Hamilton wants to be this good, he just leaves a wake of splintered carbon.

WOW

31 years ago and the last lap very beautiful

5/5
