R.I.P. Gilles, You were one of the best!

Ferrari won the F1 Constructor's Title for 1982, so the cars were excellently made and in top performance for that time. It is worth noting that Gilles was still angry from his teammate passing him and winning on the very last lap - just 2 weeks earlier. He never spoke to him after that, and was going all out (still in anger, according to the Ferrari crew) during this run.

tobiasboon46 : The more I read about the 82 Ferrari model, the more I think it had some major weaknesses including seatbelt 'joints'. There is also the story of a forgotten piece but I tend to discredit it now. I always thought Gilles was better ejected and instantly dead than well strapped and crushed to pieces. THAT would have been unbearable to see. Gilles pour toujours/4ever/per sempre!

I had the honor to meet Nigel Mansel this past summer at Mont-Tremblant where his 2 sons were racing, and he told me he still has goose-bumps from that race. They were very close. I beleive he was 2 cars behind him. Not something you wanna see on a daily basis. Gilles, Repose toi bien, mon ami. I wish I had met this man. Even though I was only 6 when he passed. R.I.P Good Sir.

Tragic. I was never a fan of Jaques (Gilles son), but I really do feel for him. I can't be nice to have the death of your father online for the World to see. RIP Gilles.

Un très très grand pilote s'en est allé ce jour-là. Maintenant, il doit se retourner dans sa tombe en voyant toutes ces conneries de sanctions. Souvenez-vous de Dijon 79 !RIP Gilles.
