Villeneuve Pironi plot

"Racing's untold tragedy."

Forty years after the infamous and tragic Formula 1 season of 1982, the families of Canadian icon Gilles Villeneuve and French superstar Didier Pironi come together for the first time to reveal one of sport's greatest untold stories. In the midst of modern racing's most dangerous era, two daring Ferrari teammates battled for the world championship, but at the San Marino Grand Prix Pironi broke an unwritten agreement by "stealing" victory from his good friend Villeneuve on the last lap. This act of "betrayal" broke a sacred bond and their relationship soon turned into a vengeful rivalry.

Although Canadian Gilles Villeneuve and Frenchman Didier Pironi raced together in Formula 1 for Ferrari (no greater rivalry than that with your teammate), they remained close friends for a long time. Using impressive (and sometimes shocking) archive footage, this documentary chronicles the evolving relationship between these two top drivers, aided by widows Joann Villeneuve and Catherine Bleynie-Larsen, as well as colleagues and technicians. A captivating story that provides insight into the mentality of the racers during a time when drivers risked their lives in every race. A must-see for Senna fans and motor racing enthusiasts in general.
