''...but villeneuve had the balls...''

If that had happened today with someone knocking into you in the corner during a fight for position, the other driver instead of fighting back would just get on the radio and shout "give him a penalty give him a penalty!"

for villeneuve, his car was a tool for the race. he swear to they engineer when touched the car!! Gilles eas a driver, engineer and his knew everything about mechanic!! he was the man!!

To anyone watching this, watch Kubica vs Massa Fuji 2008. That has 5 or 6 overtaking manouveres in about 4 corners. F1 IS still as good now as it was then, if not better.

@mushrume @mushrume Maybe now they are more afraid of the media and the opposing fans than the racing. Just look at Hamilton. He makes a lot of moves and his a god when he pulls it off but whenever something goes wrong even if his not fully to blame they crucify the man with headlines like "Hamilton going crazy" and staff like that and even old racing drivers that got too old it seems accusing him of being dangerous.

Who could race with shit like that!

@racewithferrari

He surely is. The BBC should think about taking him as replacement of Brundle next year.

The difference between Senna and Villeneuve is that Senna's skills were HIGHLY developed as opposed to Villeneuve's flashes of brilliance. If Gilles had the means to race since he was a boy, I think he would've been intense.
