A Ferrari Start at Mosport 1977
In 1977, Gilles Villeneuve’s journey to Formula 1 began against a backdrop of loss and change. The world mourned legends like Elvis Presley, Maria Callas, and Charlie Chaplin, while Formula 1 itself faced tragedy with the deaths of Tom Pryce and Carlos Pace. Amidst this turmoil, Gilles—a little-known Canadian—caught Ferrari’s eye after an impressive debut at Silverstone in a McLaren. When Niki Lauda announced his sudden departure from Ferrari, Gilles was called to race the final two Grands Prix, including Mosport. Though unfamiliar with the car and starting 17th, Gilles showed his spirit, finishing 12th after battling bravely. His story was just beginning.
Ferrari Races — Gilles Villeneuve competed in a total of 67 Grands Prix for Ferrari, from late 1977 until his death in May 1982.
