CRAZY DIAMOND.VILLENEUVE:Madman or magician?

Para mí está claro: Magician

A long time ago there was a racing driver,a fantastic driver,who did many impossible things...
(Hace mucho tiempo hubo un piloto,un piloto fantástico,que hacía cosas imposibles...)

Ferrari once described him as "a high priest of destruction"

Bruno Giacomelli: "When he first arrived,his driving style was not really suitable for F1,or any single-seater,really.He was still quick,but the style made him have accidents,too.But he learned and actually,though he remained spectacular,he became smooth as well.People get the two confused.You can still be super-smooth but be right on the limits,using all the track and more.People saw him pushing like hell because his cars weren't competitive in 1980 and '81.-up on the grass,crazy things- but I tell you,he was smooth in the way that he used the car,in the way he made the inputs into it.Tou could see that just watching his car.
I've read people say he couldn't have won a championship,and I really don't understand what they are talking about.He would have won in '79,but he handed it to Scheckter on team orders at Monza.He would have won in '82,for sure,and he could have won many titles after that.No doubt about it.
He wasn't only fantastically quick,he had everything.He knew a lot of a technical side,he knew exactly what the car was doing and he could talk about it very well.He was a very sensitive driver,actually.
He was the greatest driver I ever saw"
