This year we commemorate the 30th anniversary of Gilles Villeneuve's death. Here is a short video of his maiden win in Formula 1 that took place in front of his home fans in Montreal in 1978.
Villeneuve, driving the No. 12 Ferrari 312 T3, qualified third for the race. He passed Alan Jones (Williams) and Jody Scheckter (Wolf) to run in second place. The Canadian inherited first place and the win when race leader Jean-Pierre Jarier (Lotus) retired.
