Um dos maiores duelos de sempre na Formula 1. Grande Prémio de França em Dijon, Ano de 1979.

Gilles Villeneuve (Ferrari) e Rene Arnoux(Renaul) lutam pelo 2º lugar, numa corrida ganha Jean-Pierre Jabouille (Renault).

Tudo nas últimas 5 voltas. A corrida ficou conhecida como: "Young Lions"

It was just a couple of young lions clawing at each other.

That is my best memory of Grand Prix racing. Those few laps were just fantastic for me - outbraking each other and trying to race for the line, touching each other but without wanting to put the other car out. It was just two guys battling for second place without trying to be dirty but having to touch because of wanting to be first. It was just fantastic! I loved that moment.

The duel with Gilles is something I'll never forget. You can only race like that, you know, with someone you trust completely, and you don't meet many like him. He beat me, yes and in France, but it didn't worry me … I knew I'd been beaten by the best driver in the world.
