Gilles Villeneuve: the driver who changed everything in Quebec
Gilles Villeneuve never won the Formula 1 world title. Yet, he remains the most beloved driver in F1 history, universally recognized for his courage, flair, and absolute refusal of calculated caution. Born in Berthierville, Quebec in 1950, he carried Ferrari's colors with a flame few drivers have matched in the entire history of motorsport.

Every June, hundreds of thousands of spectators from around the world flood Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix. Fans coming from Quebec form a loyal and passionate group.
