Antti on Gilles

Yesterday marked the thirtieth anniversary of Gilles Villeneuve's death. Back in 2007, sensational motor racing film editor Antti Kalhola made this tribute to the late Canadian F1 driver.



F1 bad boy James Hunt and several other Grand Prix drivers were impressed when the young Gilles beat them in a non-championship race in 1976. The following year, Gilles was offered a ride in the older McLaren F1 car, while Hunt and Jochem Mass drove the newer version (M26). And again he impressed everyone.

In the end he died doing what he loved to do, that is, racing, in Formula One, and for Ferrari!

Thanks for reading.
