Post by: albitz on 11 January 2012, 21:34:21

This months issue is well worth a look imo. A great articel by Jacques Villenueve talking about his dad.A few great shots of the Ferrari completely sideways etc. One decent pic in the link,but betterones in the magazine.

For me Varche there has been Gilles,Senna and maybe Mansell in a very distant third. No-one else in the same league. :y
I used to love watching Gilles and was distraught when he was (perhaps inevitably) killed. His attitude was astonishing.
Read Donaldsons biography. Best F1 related book ive ever read. :y
