Because of team orders. In the last race of 1979 Gilles was faster than Jody Schekter but Ferrari ordered him to stay behind and this gave the Championship to Schekter. Gilles touched upon this in an interview after the 1982 San Marino GP when he was angrilly talking about Didier Pironi
Villeneuve has to be one of the biggest jokes in f-1 history. He was lucky enough to drop straight in the best car, then moped around and stupidly commited to BAR. He doesn't have any testing talent, basically a very lazy driver. In a phrase, he simply took his racing career and flushed it down the toilet. I challenge anybody to prove me wrong.
yea the engine sounds like 'i got the power'
v8's nowadays sound like 'i'm a truck'

@erwinruys team orders in 1979, crap cars in 80', and 81', and died in 1982. if he lived through 1982, he would've been world champion

It will be many moons before another Canadian gains such a great achievement in racing, if ever again.
