Gilles Villeneuve


Formula one has champions from every continent except Asia. North America has 3 formula one champions , 2 from United States and 1 from Canada. In 1997 Canada issued a commemorative souvenir sheet to honor Gilles Villeneuve who died in a crash during the qualifying race. His son Jacques Villeneuve won the Formula one Championship in 1997. In the same year the montreal race track was named Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve. One of my favourites !!!
