  • i was born almost a year after his death,but i still miss him very much

    THANKS GILLES

  • Happy birthday, Gilles! Wherever you are...

  • There's been a lot of great race car drivers,. But Gilles was the best, He won races that he never should have won with the car he had. I loved Senna, he was great But Gilles was in a different league. He came from nothing. No money, nothing and to do what he did we will never see again.Every time I watch this video It brings tears to my eyes.

  • Gilles:0 titles-died too young

    Ronnie Peterson:0 titles-ditto

    Stirling Moss:0 titles-awfully unlucky to have Fangio as a teammate

    Il Grande Nuvolari:0 titles-wasn't any championship back then Cheating mr.Shoemaker:7...seven!!!!!

    I wonder what a motor racing historian of the year 2050 will make of this.

    No justice at all ,am I wrong?

  • R.I.P. Gilles on t'oubliera jamais!

  • its hard to not have a lump in your throat ... god this video hurts.

    Its hard to imagine a worl which does not contain succesors to Gilles....

    salut gilles...

  • The caption at 2:27 is wrong, this is not Germany, this is Nederlands - Zandvoort GP.

    In 1979 they raced Hockenheim and this is definately not Hockenheim.

  • gran piloto jamas lo vamos a olvidar

  • Quest'uomo non ha vinto nessun titolo mondiale, ma NESSUNO come lui ha infiammato le folle di tifosi di tutto il mondo ( forse solo Ayrton Senna è andato vicino ). Onore a Giles e a quell'epoca, dove i piloti erano degli uomini veri e non idoli creati a tavolino come succede ora.

  • Gilles proves that you dont become o hero by winning titles but by just being pure and on the limit always. There have been many more successful drivers in Grand Prix racing but drivers like Gilles, Ronnie Peterson or Jochen Rindt will de forever remembered for their passion about racing.

  • OK, so I am crying like a baby. I was born after Gilles died, but he was my father's hero - he will ALWAYS be my hero too. How I would love him to be racing now. I miss him. <3

  • E, come al solito, le lacrime scendono copiose......

    Abbiamo passato troppo pochi anni assieme, ma intensi come mai nessun altro prima e dopo!

  • He was the best, and still the best ever!

  • Merci, d avoir réaliser ce merveilleux reportage, à l homme qui m a fait aimé la formule 1...votre vidéo est à la hauteur de cet immense champion inoubliable,,,,j espère qu il fait des courses avec mon Ayrton, tout la haut.

  • Legende

    

  • GILLES!

  • gilles en el recuerdo no se te olvida .! tu pilotaje Qedara en el recuerdo tu forma de llebar el coche al limite , aun no tieniendo el coche mas competitivo .! siempre gilles villeneuve !

    Salut Gilles

  • merci gilles  salut gilles!

  • quando le formula 1 erano macchine e no computer, e i motori producevano musica, e non quel merdosissimo fischio di adesso

  • The vid is all blurred and spoilt by double imaging.

  • Жиль Вильнёв -гениальный гонец, моя формульная любовь!!!

  • why human like racing?

    personnaly im crazy about it

  • <3

  • Una leggenda!!! Peccato come lui nonne nasceranno più solo prima di lui Tazio Nuvolari, ma ora ......tutti tranquilli aspettano che glia altri si fermino a cambiare le gomme...come una gara d'attesa. Per il 2011 speriamo di tornare alle antiche abitudini.

  • One thing I have noticed every athlete or driver has their greatest moments. For Dale Earnhardt it was winning the Daytona 500 and 7 Winston Cups. For Villeneuve it was winning the Monoco Grand Prix and that race with Arnoux. When I think of that race where Villeneuve blew a tire and raced it back to the pits I could not help but see the similarity the way Earnhardt flipped his car at Daytona and got back in and finished in it

  • I cannot say thank you enough. I wept watching this video, it is truly amazing. Thank you

  • bellissime le immagini mi sono commosso...

    mi ricordo il duello con arnoux altro grande pilota, la F1 di un tempo trasmetteva sensazioni uniche, indimenticabili, oggi non la seguo

    grzie per il video sono tornato indietro con il tempo

    splendida anche la musica

  • I'd cried after view this tribute.

    Even thougt I was born in 1983, since I had discovered Canadian's prowess, I'm your fan!!!

    Magnifico!!!! Magnifico!!!!

  • great video and a great tribute to a Canadian hero!!

    R.I.P. Gilles

  • Brings tears to my eyes. thanks for posting this.

    There is and never will be a faster and more passionate driver.

    Salut Gilles.

    Nr 27 is still running up there somewhere...

  • In my opinion one of the finest drivers the world has ever seen RIP Gilles

  • they dont make f1 drivers like him anymore ....

  • great job, fantastic video, fantastic driver...no more Gilles

  • Forza Villeneuve! My favorite F1 driver of all time.

  • quand je me sens poche je me rapelle Gilles

    et apres j'ai le gout de foncer dans un mur de ciment

  • thanks 4 letting us know where the museum is. I must go and see it. Do you know who i could ask a question to that wont be posted on ytube

  • @123rrab museegillesvilleneuve.cm

  • Bellissimo video!!! colonna sonora straordinaria...bravissimo!!!

  • Bellissimo video!!!

  • Bellissimo!!!!

  • Das video ist mit sehr viele emotionen , super ,,,,

  • This video , ist with emotion..... So beautiful

  • He had deserved a F1-Championship. Therefor he is a myth and live in the hearts of million Motorsport-Fans...

  • truly amazing.Im proud to say a statue of a Canadian stands outside ferraris test track.Such a talent for racing,he probably looked at his car and dared it to misbehave.R.I.P Gilles Villeneuve

  • Gilles was a very hard racer, but the comment that most impressed me on Gilles came from Keke Rosberg, saying: Gilles was the hardest bastard I ever raced against, hard but absolutely fair. If you beat him into a corner, he would never close the door or come down on you, Gilles was a giant of a driver. I agree 100%, he never did any Schumacher dirty tricks, Gilles is legend, Schumacher never.

  • the best tribute for one the bests

  • you all for this wonderful comment, thank you! is always a great pleasure to read. My

    tribute to Gilles Villeneuve is now the official video of the museum Gilles Villeneuve Berthiville, QC, Canada.

  • @morespeed Félicitation!... j'ai toujours cru, dès la première fois où j'ai vu cet hommage à Gilles que "Sa place est dans un musée"

  • @manic6030 ......vraiment merci pour ton commentaire. J'ai été très fière d'avoir été l'invité d'honneur d'un banquet organiser par le musée pour une levée de fond, ou l'ont a présenté mon vidéo en avant première. Avec la famille Villeneuve et des invités de marque dans la salle, c'étais tout un honneur pour moi !

  • Amazing tribute! thank you morespeed!

    R.I.P. Gilles forever the best!

  • au plus grand pilote de l'histoire!

  • This is truly a master piece!! Wonderful epic video!

  • one of the best 3 Tribute videos about Gilles

  • this is the best Tribute of Gilles. Thanks for skipping the video of his death. He will live forever!

  • Esse video é impressionante , mostra o fabuloso mundo da formula 1 onde um piloto faz realmente a diferença, e eu tive a oportunidade de viver este momento. e assitir ao vivo, estes momentos. Que saudaDE.

  • this is so beautiful, great that it did not include the last seconds of his life..

  • 2'27 = one of the most difficult overtaking in formula one history. few in history could have succeed. I don't think he even thought of it, he just went, and this is what makes Gilles an icon of motorsport. Don't even get me started about Dijon 79'

  • R.I.P-Gilles...you will never be forgotten!

  • What a racing driver he was!A true legend and he most certainly should´ve been the World Champion in 1982 and probably on other years too,because if Gilles wouldn´t have died in 1982 then there wouldn´t have been any opponents to stop that flying little Canadian! I have tremendous respect for Gilles! If there would be one thing that I could change in Formula 1 history then my wish would be that Gilles Villeneuve wouldn´t have died!He could´ve been multiple World Champion with Ferrari!

  • G L A D İ A T O R V İ LL E NE UV E

  • C'est le plus bel hommage à Gilles Villeneuve que j'ai vu sur You Tubes. Je suis ému, merci. Tu n'as pas montré les images du fatal accident qui nous a enlever ce magicien de la course et c'est bien ainsi....Merci

  • Je me souviens! merci gilles

  • 28 Years on, Jody Schecketr's words still ring true. If you want the best sequence of motor racing, Dijon Premois in 1979. Truimph against all odds, Monaco and Jarama in 1981, a gentleman sticking to an agreement, Monza in 1979 and worst of all a gentleman being deceived, Imola in 1982. I liked motor racing because of Jody Scheckter, Gilles made me love it.

  • Indimenticabile Gilles

    Come disse Enzo Ferrari "Io gli volevo bene"

  • Ce tribute est incroyable milles fois bravo et merci !!

  • Amazing video what more can i say

    Thank you!!!!

  • He was the best !!!!!!!

  • auguri campione.......

  • merci pour cet hommage.."il y a quelque chose de rare qui coule dans le veines des villeneuve!" Ciao Gilles!

  • Semplicemente il più veloce,il più spettacolare...lui voleva essere il più veloce di tutti...abbattendo il limite ad ogni curva,lasciando ogni volta senza fiato tutti...ci hai insegnato che nulla è impossibile se non ti arrendi mai anche a costo del sacrificio estremo...e per questo Gilles noi ti ringraziamo per tutto quello che hai fatto,entrando nella leggenda e nei cuori di tutti noi...continua a correre nelle piste del paradiso...SALUT GILLES VILLENEUVE...

  • Nous ne t'oublierons jamais !

    Apres toutes ces années , j'ai encore une boule dans la gorge en regardant tes prouesses.

    Merci pour le vid

  • un des grands du québec! R.I.P.

  • der größte F1 Fahrer überhaupt... RIP

  • Gilles was The Driver...

  • i wanna cry

  • sempre nel mio cuore!!!

  • Complimenti , video stupendo!

    Ciao GILLES!

  • Mi vien da piangere.....

    Ciao Gilles.

  • Gilles, the best there was and ever will be.

  • he was not the best ! stop saying that ! he was a really great driver but not the best. It is not because he is dead that he is the best !

  • Comment removed

  • The fact that Gilles is dead is for sure not the reason he's the best. Gilles was a pure and 100% racingdriver. Not a calculative piece of s... like Prost or Schumacher

  • Prost and Schumacher were really great driver too...

  • Legend...

  • Se è vero che la vita di un essere umano è come un film, io ho avuto il privilegio di essere la comparsa, lo sceneggiatore, l'attore protagonista e il regista del mio modo di vivere. Gilles.Villeneuve.

    Grazie Gilles

  • Impareggiabile pilota, un talento troppo futurista ma così somigliante al passato,ad un epico combattente del volante (a Nuvolari) che doveva difendere fino alla morte il suo Santo Graal: la vittoria.Grazie x montaggio e la scelta della colonna sonora.Complimenti davvero ai realizzatori di questo tributo, degno di una vera leggenda che ho avuto l'onore ed il privilegio di conoscere durante il GP di Monza del 1980. P.s. Qual'è il titolo del pezzo che accompagna il duello con Arnoux a Digione??

  • Texte en francais - un talent trop futuriste mais si proches dans le passé, à une épopée de combat du volant .Grazie montage et le choix de la tramme sonore. Complimenti vraiment les créateurs de cet hommage, digne d'une véritable légende. P.s. Quel est le titre du morceau qui accompagne le duel avec Arnoux à Dijon?

    - bellissimo commento, la ringrazio molto. Il chançons chiamato "rosso guerriero" di compositore Hans Zimmer. Red Warrior ....... così circa eh!

  • Così circa...grazie...Merci beaucoup. Perdonnez moi mais mon francaise est vraiment scolastique...Bravo! Gilles aussi pleurera et applaudira...

  • exellent tribute, thank you for creating

  • nowadays pilots are not made from the same material...

    Villenueve, Senna... There is no pilot now who can match them. At all.

  • Non sono le vittorie che fanno un campione ma i gesti e le emozioni che sanno regalare alla gente...Gilles è stato il più grande.

  • Bellissimo video, molto emozionante specialmente la parte iniziale prima del duello di digione 79

    complimenti, 5 stelle ;)

  • UM MARAVILHOSO CAMPEÃO

  • 6:17 is the best overtake in the whole F1 history

  • this is a man who give everythings to win, driving his 200%

  • '' He was, the fastest racing driver, that the history has ever known. He died, doing something that he loved. But he hasn't left us. Because the world will remember, what he has given, to motor racing.''

    F1 director, May 11 1982.

  • "Gilles Villeneuve earned an undeserved reputation for being thrilling to watch. In his time at Ferrari, the car was a monster. He had to fight it all the way, and would have much preferred to look less dazzling: some people wise in the ways of motor racing still think that Villeneuve was the fastest driver ever but that he never had a car to match his talent."

    Clive James

  • very true.

    I remember also about Alesi who had said many times that he would prefer driving somettimes at 90% instead of 110% but couldn't do so because the car wasn't quick enough.

  • Excellent video! I love the Monaco footage and commentary with the music from The Da Vinci Code in the background.

  • Before Ayrton Senna was Gilles Villeneuve the best driver in f1 and now for me is nobody

    ***VILLENEUVE*SENNA***

  • Gilles Villeneuve, His fans remember...

  • Oggi è un grande giorno per un grande pilota

  • 27 years later... this number gives me tears in my eyes. :'o(

  • il piu' veloce pilota di tutti i tempi...the speeder pilot of all times

  • 27 anni fà......ciao campione

  • R.I.P Gille Villeneuve

  • C'est aujourd'hui le 8 mai... Triste anniversaire de la disparition d'un grand pilote. SALUT, GILLES!!!

    È oggi il 8 maggio... Triste compleanno della scomparsa di un grande pilota. CIAO, GILLES!!!

    Today is May 8... Sad day in our memories, as it is the anniversary day of a great pilot's departure... SALUT, GILLES!!!

  • Belle note.......bravo !!!

  • Merci...  Je l'ai mise partout où j'ai pu... Partout où l'on faisait l'éloge de mon héros de jeunesse...

  • the best Racing driver ever

  • Great video. Gilles Forever.

  • Très bon. Très touchant. Merci.

  • Ayrton Senna is the best forever, but Villeneuve is a great driver.

  • Who is Senna?? :P

    I never enjoyed Prost but he was right when he said this "Gilles was the last great pilot, the rest of us are all a bunch of good professionals"

    Senna was a great pilot, but Gilles was much more spectacular than him

  • I was eleven years old i cryed two days after his dead i'm italian , i have the magazine of his deat and put it in a frame, my eyes still get wet when i see his video he is my hero still now that i'm 39 i saw many drivers because i LOVE f1 nobody gives me same emotions even Schumacher , awever he was great he won a race in imola after the deacth of her mother and made incredible things but Gilles is immortal for who feel passion Formula one.

  • « La maniera in cui Villeneuve affronta le gare automobilistiche è probabilmente troppo istintiva ed istantanea per mai valergli un mondiale, ma spiega perchè è adorato nel mondo intero come nessun altro pilota »

    Nigel Roebuck

  • « La manière dont Villeneuve aborde la course automobile est peut-être trop passionnée, trop instinctive et instantanée pour jamais lui valoir un championnat du monde, mais elle explique pourquoi il est adoré dans le monde entier comme aucun autre pilote »

    Nigel Roebuck

  • Ont ne pourrait mieux décrire Gilles Villeneuve.

  • This an amazing, high quality tribute. Well done, you should put a download link somewhere for the high-res one.

  • WOW!  Il ne manque que l'image de Gilles et son aileron relevé sous la pluie à Montréal. Bel hommage qui nous tire une larme... Gilles était un feu de joie! Merci Gilles!

  • When I see Ferrari talking about Gilles and them in the picture together I feel like crying.

    When you see him in the 1978 Canadian GP celebrating his victory, well, my heart misses a bit.

    Gilles is a piece of Ferrari's fans and he'll always be more than a simple driver.

    Great foot and huge heart.

    Gilles R.I.P.

  • no words...excellent.one of the best  tribute.congratulations!!!

  • Gilles is an example of Driving!, Pilots should copy now!

  • pensare che dentro quella bara ci sia il corpo di gil fa un certo senso

  • Excellent video. Gilles is the best driver of the world

  • The best Driver ever. He never give up. Hope he still win in the Champion's Heaven.

  • Your tribute is fantastic , the music and the sounds of the cars and commentary make this the best tribute I have seen.

  • jean claude780,qui dit que gilles etais aussi bon que rene arnoux,reveille mon grand renault avais  des turbo dans le temps et une meilleur voiture et villeneuve a reussi a terminer 2 ieme tout un exploit ca,Le pilote le plus aggresif de sa generation et lui c etais pas un peureux a comparer au pilote actuel de la f1 :).

  • tout a fait d'accord avec toi ^^ Gilles Villeneuve était un grand pilote mais j'ai juste l'impression que certaines personne pensent que Villeneuve est un grand pilote voir le meilleur juste parce qu'il est mort ! Mais je suis d'accord avec toi sur le point que villeneuve était très aggressif ^^

  • What can you say but FEARLESS! Great video, thanks for the upload! RIP Gilles, you will never be forgotten

  • El mejor por siempre, el mejor piloto de la Ferrari.Un hijo para Enzo.Gilles por siempre.

  • at 1:09 a son seeking revenge

  • pour moi gilles villeneuve restera 1 des pilotes qui allait au jusqu au boutisme avec sa voture zandvoort 79 cananda 1981

  • Ptin mais c pas vrai! c pas parce qu'il est mort que ça en fait l'un des plus grands pilotes de tout les temps! c'était je pense un super pilote mais pas le meilleur! Pour moi il était du niveau d'un René Arnoux ou jacques lafittes qui sont de très bon pilotes

  • C'était un pilote qui ne savait pas doser ses efforts, pour qui la fin ne justifiait jamais le moyens.Ce sont c'est défaut qui ont permis de pouvoir observer un athlète qui choisissait de tous sacrifier dans l'espoir d'arriver a pousser la plus rapide machine terrestre conçus par l'homme.Qui nous a permis d'apprécier le génie d'un pur sang au volant d'un pur sang

  • Non sono daccordo, Jeanclaude. Arnoux e Laffite sono stati buoni piloti, ma Gilles era SUPER!!!!

    Non devi guardare ai risultati da lui ottenuti ma a quello che lui personalmente ci metteva per ottenerli.

    Noi ricorderemo per sempre il suo cuore immenso.

    Forza Gilles e grazie di tutto

  • The best hard charger ever!

  • gilles villeneuve una leggenda indimenticabile. questo video emoziona tantissimo.

  • Come essere un mito, il più grande pilota di tutti i tempi senza aver mai vinto il mondiale. Unico e impareggiabile. Nessuno potrà mai essere come lui

  • ...sublime....

  • Tastefully produced and with the full respect his family deserves. A world champ for sure......His son completed the task for his dad.

  • Talento e cuore allo stato puro.

    Gilles, ci manchi

  • emozioni allo stato pure grazie gills

  • Great

  • era francese gilles?

  • canadese

  • Candese...

  • The Best. What can ya say .

    A Canadian Legend and sadly missed .

    Salut Gilles !! Boy they build em fast in Que.

  • mi hai fatto piangere.....10 stelle....

  • i would give you 10 stars

  • ....i'm crying ;) ,emotioning... you are simply the best

  • It´s the first time I´m watching this video, and all I can say is that tears are coming to my face. Gilles was always my favourite Formula 1 driver, an Uncrowded champion. It´s a beautiful tribute, thank you for sharing it.

  • Merci Gilles.Vous étiez le débauché de mère le plus brave le plus rapide.

    Hope my translation is accurate.

  • Querido Gilles te dejo unas palabras solo para decirte lo tremendo que eras y que tu gran talento no es comparado con nada aun hoy sigo pensando si estarias aun con vida lo que nos hubieramos deleitado viendo como preparabas cada carrera.

    Jamas dejare de admirarte y aun hoy sigo llorando por ti.

  • this video is awesome, great fantastic like gilles

    RIP GILLES

  • wow what a spectacular racer he was

  • The uncrowned king of formula one!

  • To me he is F1 as it is supposed to be living on the edge racing 100% regardles.

    The man is a true legend and F1 had a true hero Salut Gilles !

  • Gilles = Perfcet Racing Driver!!!

  • «Gilles? Avec sa générosité, avec son hardiesse, avec sa capacité destructive qu'il avait à piloter les monoplaces, broyant transmissions, boîtes de vitesses, embrayages et freins, il nous apprenait ce que nous devions faire pour qu'un pilote puisse se défendre à un moment inattendu, lorsque cela est nécessaire. Il a été un champion de combattivité et nous a donné, a fait grandir tellement de notoriété à Ferrari. Je l'aimais.»

    Enzo Ferrari, après la mort de Gilles

  • I didn't saw him racing...I'm 21 but I love F-1 and all his matters. I've always heard about Gilles (many years ago) but I never checked what he was really...Nowadays, is my fauvourite driver, the bravest and the most spectacular one, the only one I could compare with him, is Montoya (the same racing madness) and nevertheless he ins't good enough as Villeneuve.

    Salut Gilles

    #27#

  • Truly a beautiful tribute to the most incredible talent ever to step into a race car! Too many videos concentrate on his tragic death, but I prefer to remember Gills for all the breathtaking moments he gave us in his sadly short F-1 career. He was my inspiration to get into racing, and all my cars (over 24 years, except post championship years when I got to run #1) have carried #27 and a replica of Gills' helmet paint, and still (26 year later) I get people who recognize from whom it came!

  • Enzo Ferrari himself used to called Gilles ''Little prince of F1'' or ''il destructore de la machina''. In fact Enzo, emulate villeneuve as his own ''son''. GV was able to drag 350 % from a low-average Ferrari single seater race car, in a way, that anybody could. Im very proud to see that nobody forgot our hero...

    Thanks all !

  • Powerful tribute!

    27 forever :(

  • Great video and well done. Gilles Villeneuve will never be matched let alone surpassed.

    A beautiful collection of clips very nicely put together. Thank you.

  • Beau montage, j'en ai des frissons. très professionnel. J'aimerais bien voir un montage du temps du grand Prix de Trois-Rivières avec sa formule Atlantique Direct Films numéro 69.

  • Well done !!! Great tribute !

    Je suis un québécois originaire de Berthierville et personne ne l'a oublié içi !

    Salut Gilles !

  • mito gilles

    bel lavoro

  • God job!!!thank's

    Gilles Villeneuve sem duvida foi uns dos melhores se nao o melhor piloto de formula 1!!

    Como dizia o comendadore Enzo Ferrari "O principe da destruiçao"!!Q pena q parti cedo!!

    Esse sim devemos honrar, por ser um verdadeiro piloto!!!

  • Come lui nessuno mai ... :-(

  • come non quotarti!!!

  • He had his own driving style which was very much more like

    what you might see at a rally than at a Formula One Grand Prix ; he will remain simply unforgettable.When Gilles died in 1982, I was 10 and this event shocked me: I realized for the first time that many dreams suddently fly away .......

    Gilles, your story is finished but your legend will never die !

  • je suis né le 5 avril 1983 ! à ma naissance mon père qui aimais enorment Gilles Villeneuve choqué par sa disparition choisi de m appelé Gilles en souvenir de lui et par grand hasard le numero de la chambre ou je suis née etais le numero 27 !
