25 Years Ago Yesterday

25 years ago yesterday (May 8, 1982), my all-time hero, Gilles Villeneuve, died in a violent crash during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix at Zolder, just two weeks after vowing not to speak to his teammate Didier Pironi again for the rest of his life, for stealing victory right under his nose at the San Marino Grand Prix.

RIP, Gilles. You are the best.
