- Jacques Villeneuve drove his father Gilles' 1979 Formula 1 Ferrari at Fiorano on Tuesday to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the elder Villeneuve's death.

I was there the day his father died. I remember seeing Gilles leaving the pits for the last time in that beautiful red car with the white tire markings and the chrome wing. I was thirteen and it was the first and last Grand prix I ever visited and I will remember that day forever.
That's not the car he died in. That's his 1979 car, his best year.
@@alfaV6boy1 so sharing a cherished memory is self indulgent narcism now?
mind dont answer to an asshole it gives him importance....
Hi, do you really remember they were new tires?
@@phillyneveryoumind415 apparently, I mean he’s just a Shlong rider
It's a shame that they never made that film about Gilles and Jacques they had announced in 2005.
Losing your father at a young age must be incredibly distressing, and in such a public way. It must have felt emotional for Jacques driving his dads car.
A real F1 car. Manual gearchange, no driver aids, no drs, no kers and a steering wheel without a million buttons and switches. Just driver, engine and car.
The cars of this era must be insanely cool to drive
Yes
Don't compare ages. Technology and security have improved over the years. In the 80s the cars were different to the 70s.
I made several wheels for Jacques in IndyCar. He could feel if the grips were 1- or 2-mm off, and he'd ask me to redesign the steering wheel each race. I liked Jacques...fun to work with and very open about his driving techniques.
That's fantastic to hear, very cool.
Nice you helped the man be awesome at what he did
I was very fortunate to travel with the Firestone Indylights program, in Toronto one Friday, Jacques invited me to join them in the hospitality area, later that afternoon, I was invited to sit in his car.
I’ve heard story’s about his throttle pedal.
You worked for Forsythe/ Players? You know McCormack?
Both father and son were excellent drivers
Jacques may have won a World Championship, but he'll never be in the same league as his father, one of motor racing's immortal legends.
Jacques's career would become much better if he didn't go to BAR in 99
To think that people have the nerve to call that ugly...What an immaculate machine. One drive in that, & I would die an extremely happy man.
312 T4 ugly ?!
Commando Ultra 84 I mean, we can’t call it good looking, but damn what a machine
@@matvt.2451 Enzo called only a car that 'wins' is 'beautiful'.
I think the same in driving 97/04's ferraris but respect all of them and of course it should be a pleasure to drive any since day one back in the 1950's.. each one has its history and particular sound
@@matvt.2451 It was hardly the prettiest Ferrari. The 1967 312 was much better looking. The late 1982 car - the one with the pullrod front end was a lot better looking too.
It gives me goose bumps thinking that's Gilles 's car. God bless his soul, What a driver
I can't believe how exposed you are in a car like that, F1 drivers back in the day had massive balls to drive these cars
Helmut Konigg and other ones would have thank in that moment the halo in her cars.
Romain Grosjean rebirth in Bahrein 2020.
In the end he says in Italian to Alonso..."It's strange....(when you enter a corner) it feels like it's not going in, not going in...the suddenly it turns" all is highlighted by his hand gesture mimicking a full turn of the steering wheel.
thank 's for the translation!!!!
There's also a conversation on how tracks were narrower and that was the cause, along with the tyres (?) of many accidents
These guys are not just Athletes , and Pilots .. but here we have a French Canadian a Spaniard and a Brazilian.. using Italian as a common language ..
I've heard Alonso switch 3 languages while driving at 300kl/h
What a lovely tribute to Gilles.
Great video, great car, great drivers. Jacques and Gilles Villeneuve both are/were legendary drivers, and people Canadians are proud of.
Oui...
Che bello sentirli comunicare tutti in italiano
This must've been hard for Jacques. But a rather fitting tribute to his Father's and indeed his family's racing legacy
The cars in the eighties made the same sound at 3000rpm than the modern ones do at 9000
Sound is wasted energy in engineering.
@@martinh88 your thinking of heat. Sound doesn't work that way
@Ryan Davidson Charming individual
Yeah because the cars have insane amounts of aerodynamic grip now. Aerodynamic grip is leagues more efficient and effective than mechanical grip. You dont need a V12 with how F1 cars are made now, they'd be entirely too fast.
People want to bitch about the newer crop of cars meanwhile they're quicker than ever. The fastest lap set for each circuit has been set within the past two years. The fastest official grand prix laps for each circuit are also within the past two years save for albert park, Shanghai, Bahrain, and monza.
The cars get significantly faster every couple years yet nobody wants to realize this because "LoUd EnGiNe GoOd"
@@oreofudgeman but they taked 13-14 years to dethrone the v10 cars and remember that the cars used grooved tires in that time,this era only bringed dominance to mercedes too,thats why the people complains about the actual f1 cars
Some nasty comments on here.
Bearing in mind the history of the car, the fact that it's not Jacques and belongs to someone else I think he was just enjoying the moment.
Giles was maybe more naturally fast but the son took the title and lived to tell the tale.
Ignore the ignorant. Beautiful car in context. Emotional for Jacques, no doubt.
well to be fair at 1997 it was pretty easy for you to live in F1 after the tragedies at 94
Both father and son were great drivers
If Enzo Ferrari was around in the 2000, he certainly would have hired Jacques in a heartbeat. A shame Jacques never raced for them.
Ferrari want to sign JV, but when tgis info go to MS he travel to Italy to Ferrari team, go and with crying ask no no no please not JV...because he know...that he lost. MS always be girl.
O pai foi qualificado pra ser o grande piloto desde épocas que corria no gelo, Jacque é apenas um motorista.
Almost yesterday. Thanks for posting this video.
The F1 cars from the 70s and 80s deadass look like mega karts
Really great footage. Thanks
Thank you very much for UP(ing) an animation!
one name full of magic ... Villeneuve !!!
beautiful, thanx for sharing
These F1 were soo beautiful. Jacques did a good job that day.
Il sound la sua macchina il ricordo di Gilles mi da ancora brividi ed emozioni.Grazie alla Ferrari che non dimentica il suo pilota.
He was my hero in 1972 when I was 15 .He raced Alouette snowmobiles here in Canada and I had an Alouette at the time..
Jacques made me so proud when he kicked Schummy's ass in 97...
Mud Sh-sh-shark Yeah... cause he had the best car. Schumacher arguably shouldn't even have ended up being close if you consider how much faster the Williams was. And surprisingly enough, if that famous collision didn't happen, Villeneuve would have gone off into the gravel trap with the excess speed he was carrying into the corner. And this coming from a Canadian.
Schummy made a mistake ...and lost
Mud Sh-sh-shark tu vas tu copier ton commentaire dans tous les vidéos :p
@@anthonyiuculano6002 Imbécile!
Grazie per questo video
That Ferrari is bellowing to go and Jacques is like maybe I should ... maybe I shouldn’t ... motazellos like I hope he don’t crash that thing . That awesome sound of those older f1 cars so much nicer than now . That sound blows your mind.
Un altro giro...dai!!!
Molto bello questo video, mi fa emozionare.
No Halo, DRS, Manual shift ... Thats real F1 !
Manual shift? Bruh, F1 have been running manual shift forever, and never stopped. It has always been manual shift, not only back then, it probably never will become automatic. And no halo? The Halo is a damn safety device that doesn't affect racing what so ever. Safety is the number 1 priority in Formula 1 and the fact that it wasn't back then is unbelievable. Just because you do not like the looks doesn't mean it kills any element in the racing. And DRS is a feature made to improve the racing, however i do get that some people think it may make the sport a little less "pure", but the point is that times are changing and they always will be. F1 wouldn't be anything if it didn't change at all from the 80's to now. People like to look back and say the old thing was better, and the fact that you have no good argument to prove your point, makes this comment very ignorant.
Ogeenock even if it would kill some elements of racing, at least not the drivers tho
@@oggeenock there was automatic downshifting and someupshifitng in the early to mid 2000s. Ferrari ran it funny enough
Real dangerous f1
@@nbain66 The top early 1990's cars were fully automatic in up and down shift.
Bel gesto ricordare così suo padre
A really nice touch to the great man that was Gilles Villeneuve :)
It would've been great to see Jacques in Ferrari at his time. Following the Legacy.
An iconic machine for several reasons. My personal all time favoritte f-1 car. Jody David Scheckter won the championship with this in 1979. It would take untill the year 2000 when the great Schumi won for Ferrari again. Legendary….
Good to see life's great moments... Must have been emotional for him.
Grazie.
mamma mia che rombo da quel motore!!!! complimenti alla ferrari per il tributo al mitico gilles.
Bom dia !!!!!
Eu fico imaginando o tamanho da emoção que o Jacques sentiu nesse dia.
Deve passar um filme de uma vida inteira na cabeça.
Bom demais.
Só saudades........
Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal.
Abraço do Brasil.........
Emotion...they speak in italian ...alonso..massa and villeneuve
Очень трогательно…это какое чувство водить машину своего отца спустя столко лет…
Nice little Sunday drive
imagine the respect and affinity gilles son felt driving that car.....jacques office was a different beast,yet still instilled that "racer" mentality.and gilles was a consumate driver.
wanted to see JV driving for Ferrari after he left Williams
Never going to happen when Michael Schumacher was the Number 1 and forced all of teammates to agree with their contracts with clauses that 'they stayed behind at all times unless his car broke or retired'. Jacques was smart enough to see that even though Ferrari wanted him.
@Firstname Lastname take a ferrari seat, unless it's 2020
Never understood why Ferrari didn t offer Jacques a seat, when he entered F1.
Obviously treating it very respectively...
Ho i brividi,,,,avevano gli stessi occhi dolci, teneri e profondi
He grow up in Italy, He is very fluent and now is a commentator for F1in Sky italia
amazing car
astonishing car!!!!!
I like Jacques Villeneuve and appreciate him doing this, must have been very emotional. But why oh why does he always wear such baggy racing overalls?
I have read in one of his books that he hates having a tight suit when he is stuck in the car
@@villeneuve2fast4you Ah, thankyou.
Look like Raikkonen
@@villeneuve2fast4you ah that makes sense
Gachot
Thanx Jack...you are a man with a wonder personallity ...and all this is so strong
But Gil ooooo is a incredibile dream....also now...
I thanx Villeneuve family and old Ferrari style.... So ....so...SO !
i sat in that car.. there were nobody guarding the area and it was in the end of montreal's 2nd pit areas for the 'older' F1 promotionnal cars.. i have apict somewherer
Where do we live? In the eighties, Formula 1 had better sound than now. In which direction this is going.
Polo
True... well, it is a priceless museum piece :)
Amazing
Respect!
E un emozione rivedere il figlio di Gilles guidare la machina che fu del padre😮😊
I allways liked the special shape off the T3. I saw Gilles and yody race in it and one day i had the opportunity to sit in Yody's car at a show. It fitted perfectly for me. And what a sight to see that pranking horse in front of you on the steering wheel.
JACQUES FOREVER!!!
50s ~ 80s Cars Looked Like Big Karts With SuperPower Engines. Gilles looked Like a Child Going Totally Happy & Fast For a Corner.
What Car, What Driver, What Team Was Scuderia Ferrari....
What a touching moment
che bei ricordi la "Febbre Villeneuve"!
Montezemolo- I want you to drive the car with safety.
Jaques- Ok
Enzo- Don t destroy that one. It s the only one we got.
Gilles- Ok
The different between the two dialoques is the passion. Why? Because
Enzo knows why his cars are made for... and he expecting nothing less from his driver.
Gilles would like to keep his promise but his passion won t let him for sure.
Conclusion: Even if it was an event like this, most probably Enzo would be furious at the end... but happy in the show time.
LOL! Michael Schumacher was told almost the same thing when he drove his very first race for Jordan at Spa. He was told: this is the test car and this is the race car. Don't destroy THAT one because it's the only engine you'll have for the actual race (it was a Saturday which is when Free Practice and Qualifying are done so if he blew the first engine, at least he would have a second one but better safe than sorry!)
Menelaos Menelaou what are you babbling on about lol...
Gilles sempre nei nostri cuori rosso Ferrari!
Jacques Villeneuve is just a LIGHT Villeneuve!
Debio ser un sentimiento hermoso manejar El ferrari de su Papá
🥰 at both of them
che tristezza vedere la sua auto in pista senza di lui.....
For me the 312 T4 is the most beautiful f1 ever
Un tres bel hommage a ton pere mon Jacques! o7
Italy love love love villeneuve
driving gentle!
Do you even realise that driving this car, at any speed, is like flying the Wright Brothers' Flyer?
Salut Gil. Bravo Jacques.
Am I the only one who would love to see JV back in F1? I know, its bit too late for now, but always you can dream... :/
that is a real ferrari
Gilles non morirà mai.....
nice tribute on the 30 th year death anniversary of gilles..
I don't know much about Jacques but his dad was one of a kind. All those who died like Gilles, such as Ayrton, Willimason, Purley, were all from a era when Formula One was the real deal and people took it very seriously. Today people are so ignorant to boo if somebody win one too many and the circuits is way to simple, plus all the safety protocols in place, make the drivers not to be in control and do their thing like in the old days.
I'll take all that you said and more any day of the week over drivers dying as much as they use too.
Eric Ortega Well all of them they knew it was risky, that was part of the appeal, all the extreme sports are, it is indeed that side attractive for certain individuals. I don't like to see anyone dying but if i go to a Formula one or a boat racing competition i understand that it can happen. I learned that long time ago. It comes with the territory. Today everything is fake and too regulated which makes it "pretentious", although safe.
I don't care how safe anybody attempts to make auto racing, but no matter what they do it is never "fake." Different eras took different skills and talents to master, but not one of those is better than the other. It's the drivers that must evolve along with the era if they want to be World Champion.
well, Jacques drove fast.. very fast... but only in the 90'ies... even driving for a competitive team as Renault (i believe it was in 2004), he didn't make the headlines... i feel sorry for him though... his F1 carreer, was kind of in reverse.. starting on a high, ending in the low... pitty
Eric Ortega
When i say fake i meant that today drivers are more safe-conscious the moment they get in the car cus of those safety rules, their instinct is somehow compromised from the get go. But you know that's what is today racing so like you say things change, people gotta to adapt, and if some things are lost, other things are gained (less mortality), it depends how people look at it, I am old enuff to notice that something is missing. JMO.

The Best!!!!!!

J'ai toujours aimé son casque rétro
あぁ、とても素晴らしい👍👍

Tension between Alonso and Massa.
jaques so cool with ferrari...
Which Hill? Phil or Graham?
bravo ferrari et jacques
In my opinion this is the most f1 car in hostory
They should of kept these cars! Amazing pieces of machinery but with safety of course
💞👏👏👏
Very nice to see this vid. Could someone please translate what Fernando, Felipe and others are saying at 1:37 of this video. Thanks.
They're saying that tracks were so narrow/tight in the past and tyres were so different too. They're comparing racing in the past to nowadays racing. Sorry for late reply 😅😁
Driving it nice and easy and I don't blame him, cars from that era where death traps, very unfortunate accident what happened to his dad, the red mist something to do with his teammate !
Andava pianissimo x non distruggerla
He is on about his dad.. Graham Hill
To the unassuming eye, it was cool to see him drive the car around the track, but he was driving extremely gingerly. And it was also nice to see Luca. Haven’t seen him in a long time
lol he is right
Gilles was one pf the best and Jacques was good - and lucky too have the car he had in his first 2 seasons
Wow ,, watching this reminds me of that terrible accident,, of his father Gilles,, when he was thrown from the car, still strapped to the seat,, when safety was bad, and years before anawl, wonder how heed do nowadays, with the cars
Fernando wanted to have a drive. Wonder if he got a chance to
...do you not know Graham Hill?
