Villeneuve, despite a short career where he only achieved 6 victories, 2 pole positions and 13 podiums, remained in the hearts of enthusiasts - especially Ferrari fans - for his admirable feats performed on the track, almost always going beyond the limit. Drivers with the Canadian's temperament are sorely missed in modern Formula One.
