Gilles Villeneuve left his mark on Formula 1 like very few before, or since. 

His dedication to his "m�tier" and his team were legendary, as was his pure passion for the sport.

MotorSports editor Nigel Roebuck wrote Villeneuve's obituary for Autosport magazine on May 13, 1982; it is beautiful, as it is heart-felt. You can read it here:
