25 years already!
WOW!
The man who bled F1 and personified what a true racer should be like.

yes a very good driver indeed. His battle with Rene Arnoux are the best too !! But his fatal crash in Zolder was just horrific. I couldn't stand for it... man his Ferrari broke into 2 pieces and he was trown out of the car during the crash... I give a lot of respect for this man and his son Jacques.

It's a shame we had lost Gilles. He is a legend.

Another big loss for Formula one, and with a terrible accident.

Luckily, his son continued where his father left, although he stands nowhere near his dad.
