Thirty-eight years ago this week, a Frenchman was storming to his first Grand Prix win at his home race in Dijon. Few were watching. All eyes were on the duel behind for second
You’ve got to feel sorry for Jean-Pierre Jabouille. Charging to his and Renault’s first Grand Prix victory in front of his home crowd at Dijon-Prenois, this was the height of the Frenchman’s Grand Prix career, but few people would have been watching.

Then ensued one of the most exciting duels F1 has ever seen with decisiveness, commitment, wheel-banging and respect demonstrated in equal measure. Villeneuve came out on top but Arnoux, less than a quarter of a second behind, had won the hearts of the French public with his first F1 podium. What a way to go about it.
