Greatest Duel Villneuve vs. Arnoux '79 French Grand Prix F1
Loading...
Uploaded by SystemOps on Feb 14, 2007
this clip shows the last 2 laps of the 1979 french grand prix, villneuve (red ferrari) and arnouxin (yellow renault) in an incredible, tight battle for 2nd place; the greatest battle in f1.
5 over-takes in a little more than 1 lap. awesome fighting spirits and a battle of the will. smoking tires, banging wheels, neither giving up, it's unbelievable!
i agree with the narrator that this kind of action is, sadly, not seen anymore nowadays.

Funny to hear Clarkson - he always exaggerates for humor and at the time thought Villeneuve was the greatest (later admitted Senna was more spectacular)... the thing is though, modern F1 is not like this (and re-passing is rare but not unheard of, I've seen Hamilton do it lately) primarily because of the "one move to defend" - whereas here, you see neither driver move off the racing line more than a half car width while leading, no ridiculous crowding the whole track.

""Those few laps were just fantastic for me - out braking each other and trying to race for the line, touching each other but without wanting to put the other car out."
