Villeneuve's wheel-banging duel with René Arnoux is one of the amazing moments in the history of formula one racing. The last laps of the 1979 French Grand Prix at the Dijon circuit, Villeneuve refused to accept the fact that his 312T4 was slower than Arnoux's faster Renault. That was one of the most intense moments in Formula One racing. Arnoux passed Villeneuve for second place with three laps to go, but Villeneuve re-passed him on the next lap. On the final lap Arnoux attempted to pass Villeneuve again, and the pair ran side-by-side through the first several corners of the lap, making contact several times. Arnoux took the position, but Villeneuve attempted an outside pass one corner later. The cars bumped hard, and Villeneuve slid wide. Villeneuve then tried an inside pass at a hairpin turn and managed to make it stick. He then held off Arnoux for the last half of the lap to secure 2nd place.
