<h2 id="video-f1-ferrari-vs-mr-renault">Video F1 - Ferrari vs. Mr. Renault</h2>

In this video we can see a spectacular fight between one of the revolutionary [Renault Turbo](//car-design.idoneos.com/competition/renault_turbo) and a [Ferrari 312T](//car-design.idoneos.com/competition/ferrari_312t) in 1979. This memorable event is considered one of the most spectacular duels in the history of Formula 1. The race in question is the 1979 Formula 1 French Grand Prix.

The race was won by French driver Jean Pierre Jabouille aboard a [Renault Turbo](//car-design.idoneos.com/competition/renault_turbo). But the most exciting thing about the race was the second place dispute between drivers Gilles Villeneuve (Ferrari) and Rene Arnoux (Renault).

The victory went to Jean Pierre Jabouille in a Renault Turbo, in second place came Gilles Villeneuve (Ferrari) to 14.59 seconds, while in third place left Rene Arnoux (Renault) less than 3 tenths of a second. Rene Arnoux worked so hard that he achieved the lap record with a time of 1 minute 9 seconds 16 hundredths.
