Arnoux VS Villeneuve: the greatest F1 Duel?

To kick off our look back at the seventies, we thought it apposite to share with you this incredible wheel-​​to-​​wheel duel between René Arnoux in the Renault and Gilles Villeneuve in the Ferrari.

We’re enjoying the current crop of strategic F1 geniuses (with the occasional hell-​​for-​​leather flourish) — along with the intrigue and the strato­spheric tech that makes the sport such a spectacle. But head to head clashes like this make us hanker for a time when four wheel drift was still in vogue and Murray Walker was still in the commentary box. Enjoy.
