These exceptional and never before published images tell the story of the arrival in the world of Formula 1 of a young motor racing virtuoso. From his first test in 1995, the lens of photographer, Gianni Giansanti, has followed his development and progress. Back then, he entered Formula 1 with the IndyCar Title and a name - son of the great Gilles Villeneuve, who died in his Ferrari in 1982. With his temperament, character, determination and genius, he has emerged from his father's shadow and pushed the name Jacques to the fore. From Estoril in Portugal, where in Autumn 1995 he made his first track run at the wheel of his Williams Renault, to his second season in Fl, Jacques Villeneuve has gained the recognition his individual style deserves. Gianni Giansanti shares in the driver's emotions from the joys of success to the disappointment of failure.
