This was an awesome video. Where the heck did you find this sound-byte??? I wish we'd hear more stories from these closer and more in-depth perspectives on events that happened in F1. So much the fans will never know.

Doubt he needs to review it?!.. There's probably a reason he was pro Villeneuve!. Pironi robbed Villeneuve, just check the lap times.

I was referring to the fact that Villeneuve slowed the pace to save fuel as had been discussed before, they were marginal.

Ehh. What a selective memory Nigel has. Gilles inherited the lead from Rene, made a mistake the next lap and Didier passed. Gilles power past him on the straight a few laps later. Didier did the same. The slow down boards are shown from the pitwall with Didier in the lead. Gilles again power past Didier on the penultimate lap. DIder repass once again on the last. All this talk about what cunning late race move Didier did on Gilles, when it was Didier leading into the final laps only to be power past by Gilles...

finally someone who can see it for what it was - roebuck has always been a tosser who panders to the lowest common denominator . . . whatever gets him brownie points with his potential readers is the morals he chooses to have on the day

I don’t know why anyone bothers with this soap opera crap. There were no team orders and despite what Roebuck says, fuel was not a problem. I thought I was watching a motor race, rather than an order of succession.

You are correct about the team orders but there was a concern for the fuel consumption. It was an exciting race and one where Gilles made a mistake and ran off the road. Didier inherited, unexpectedly, the lead and Gilles did the one thing he said he would never do and that was attack his teammate while he was leading. Once he passed Didier the race was on with no holds barred. Hell of a race. I did the Roebuck interview in 1994 during a race weekend for a book I was working on. At that time I had a different opinion of the event even though I was there.

These team orders existed only in the minds of Gilles, and subsequently Roebuck. If the man could pull his head out his arse he'd hold a more balanced view.

The "slow" board was hung out with Villeneuve leading. Were they meant to race until they ran out of fuel?.

Everytime Villeneuve led he'd slow the pace because fuel was so critical. The cars were topped up on the grid!. Pironi only got close to him because he Villeneuve new fuel had to be saved for BOTH cars and backed off. Pironi was nowhere near his pace at any point that weekend. The slow sign meant "hold position" because if they raced Ferrari could lose a home win because both cars could run out of fuel - simple.

@Firstname Lastname Listen to the first line of the video "Gilles was siqnificantly faster than Pironi in qualifying and in the race it was Gilles who took the battle to the Renaults.... Yeah, a special driver.
