This episode is dedicated to the memory of my first F1 hero Gilles Villeneuve. Listen and discover how this young french Canadian rose to stardom from world snow mobile champion to F1 grand prix winner, driving for Ferrari. At one point, I let my emotions get to me and chose to leave it in. Then I edited out "In a year" and four weeks it will be 40 years since he left us. I'm leaving that in as well. I gave all I had in this one. It was important to me. No matter how hard I tried, I still made a mistake. I'm not perfect and neither was Gilles. Humility is a good thing :) Thank you for listening. Stay safe and take care.
