BEYOND THE GRID: Andretti, Scheckter, Arnoux and more remember Gilles Villeneuve
This week's Beyond The Grid podcast remembers Gilles Villeneuve, 40 years on from his death – with a number of special guests looking back at the great French Canadian's career.
Mario Andretti, 1978 world champion, speaks about why Villeneuve was so quick and why Enzo Ferrari loved the man who gave "110 percent" every weekend.
Andretti is also joined by Jody Scheckter – 1979 champion and Villeneuve's team mate – who looks back fondly on the "daredevil" of F1.
