Is it 'chip off the old block'? And Dijon '79 is in the the link (which doesn't work for me either). Any Gilles, great stuff. Who is he a chip off?

Too bad for U. The link is a scene from a GP 1979 where Gilles Villeneuve and René Arnoux are fighting for 2nd place and has everything that makes formula 1 worth watching. With original commend by Murray Walker. I posted this thread because topics about "the son of..." seem to be not so popular nowadays. Unbelievable since this still is the unofficial JV site. Son was like his father a great driver.... Many people seem to forget quickly.

Tenuous, indeed. Very tenuous. Also Jacques never had a race like this, but then not many ever did.

That is an affliate of tentenths.com! There are loads. It is quite clever really. try one of Villeneuve's ex-team mate's unofficial site or click here for the full list (actually not all are listed at the moment). You can also read about what an affiliate is on that page too!

And here is the parent site: tentenths.com

As you can see we have an excellent array of friends and affliates.

Let's get back to GV. That rocked. What great racing that was. What is the likelyhood that we could see those moves in F1 today between ANY drivers? How many of this year's F1 drivers would do that if they had the chance?

Well, its not just the drivers, but the cars and tracks are different too.

And lets be realistic, this race was'nt the average display of racing in those days, it is one of the greatest of any era.

If we had 1 race like that this season, I hardly think we would consider the problem solved.

Yes, as an example take Silverstone last year! The racing was between more than two drivers and for the lead and without contact (not that I consider that an issue with Dijon).

This is partly because of the situation, but partly because of a change in attitudes.

Maybe there is something in that. In the days when domination in a race could be accepted as an achievement we had more decent races?

David Coulthard certainly would not........since Enrique Bernoldi "retired".

How many?
Michael, JPM, Kimi, FA and JB certainly would!

Klien, Sato, Massa and Bruni have some potential but have a lack of experience.

Webber, Fisi, Heidi or Trulli : I have serious doubts, even in a faster car.

DC has been involved in more racing/successful overtaking manouvres than most of the grid.

I didn't meen to bash DC and assume Kicking Back has a point. Looking at the statistics David is a great driver, who scored many points and victories, but he simply isn't my favourite. Over a decade in a great car, but all the time being outclassed by his teammate imo. For "Braveheart" I apologize, I realize that was cheap.
Thanx Adam for showing a rookie poster what this forum should be about.

Are you taking the Michael

Anyway, Gilles! I hear rumours that there is going to be a series of '70s DVDs (like the new 1980 one), so hopefully we shall be able to get a decent copy of that race and those laps!
