Today is the 41st anniversary of Gilles Villeneuve's death. But before that he left many memorable moments in the history of F1 like this one during the 1979 Dutch GP at Zandvoort. After suffering a left rear puncture and end up in the gravel trap at the first turn, he drove back to the pits at full speed, causing the wheel and suspension to break off completely. He retired from the race due to the damage, but this action is still remembered to this day.
RIP Gilles Villeneuve 1950-1982.
