This battle still stands as the benchmark upon which other battles are judged.

  • 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*

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

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

  • @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.

  • @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"...

  • @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

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

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