Gilles Villeneuve. The Man, the Racer, the Legend

Gilles Villeneuve was not a champion of Formula 1, he did not often stand on the top step of the podium, but he managed to enter the history of the 'queen of motorsport', and most importantly – into the hearts of tifosi and fans all over the world. Luca Dal Monte and Umberto Zapelloni meticulously recreate the story of Gilles Villeneuve's career – from an unknown snowmobile racer to the favorite driver of Commendatore Enzo Ferrari. How did a Canadian who raced only one Formula 1 race end up in Ferrari? How did he cope with the incredible pressure of the all-powerful Italian press? How did his passionate racing style win over the mechanics and even Ferrari himself? Gilles Villeneuve's career had it all: incredible battles, terrible crashes, sincere friendship, and the tragedy of betrayal. And although he did not manage to lift the championship trophy above his head, in response to the question 'What should a real racer be like?' one can often hear: 'Like Gilles Villeneuve'.
