Karoly Mehes has interviewed Villeneuve''s Ferrari team-mates, his opponents and journalists - as well as Gilles'' widow, Joann, and son, Jacques (world champion of 1997). Nearly 40 years on, they speak about the incandescent star of Formula 1 - a man who gave everything for his beloved sport, ultimately his life. |
