Villeneuve. Pironi. Two instantly recognisable names in the pantheon of unfulfilled Formula 1 talents. Two names that are also inextricably linked with tragedy.
Four decades on from the 1982 F1 season, Gilles Villeneuve’s and Didier Pironi’s second as Ferrari team-mates, Villeneuve Pironi reveals the truth behind the breaking of an unwritten agreement between the two at the San Marino Grand Prix, and the way it transformed their relationship in the weeks that followed until Villeneuve’s death.
Villeneuve Pironi features first-hand insight from F1 champions Alain Prost and Jackie Stewart, as well as both drivers’ families – including 1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve, Gilles’s son – and premieres at the Glasgow Film Festival on March 5, two weeks before its release on Sky Documentaries on March 19.
