Gilles Villeneuve wasn't a Formula 1 champion, and he rarely reached the top step of the podium, but he managed to cement his place in the history of the "Queen of Motorsports" and, most importantly, in the hearts of fans and enthusiasts around the world.

Luca Dal Monte and Umberto Zapelloni meticulously reconstruct the career of Gilles Villeneuve—from a little-known snowmobile racer to Commendatore Enzo Ferrari's favorite driver.

How did a Canadian who competed in just one Formula 1 race end up at Ferrari? How did he overcome the incredible pressure of the all-powerful Italian press? How did his passionate racing style win over mechanics and Ferrari himself? Gilles Villeneuve's career has had it all: incredible battles, horrific accidents, heartfelt friendships, and the tragedy of betrayal.

And although he didn't manage to lift the championship trophy over his head, in response to the question "What should a real racing driver be like?" one can often hear: "Such as Gilles Villeneuve."
