Gilles was 2nd in that dog of a car? The 312T5 was probably the worst F1 Ferrari ever and they ended the constructors' championship in 11'th place in 1980. Gilles could get podiums in a bad car. He was special.

"I don't have any fear of a crash. No fear of that. Of course, on a fifth gear corner with a fence
outside, I don't want to crash. I'm not crazy. But if its near the end of practice, and you're
trying for pole position maybe, I guess you can squeeze the fear ..."

UNA VERDADERA LASTIMA DE QUE LA F1 NO VENGA MAS A ARGENTINA UN PAIS TAN FIERRERO

The one and only!!!!!!!!!

Mainly suspension failure but also serious steering problems as Gilles felt no steering movement whatsoever.
So yes, Gilles still doing OK with the T5 in 1980 was quite a feat. He often used in typical French-Canadian language the term 'Shit car'.
Both Gilles and Jody got so irrate they communicated directly to Enzo, pointing the incompetence of the team's directors and concept staff.

Thats fab I wish I did , the reviews of the seasons of VHS give no insight I think into how fascinating the late 70s/early 80s were.
Great video and thanks for sharing. Great to hear James Hunt too.
Where did you get this?
