A nice encounter: Joann Villeneuve

IndyCar and Sports Cars ace Didier Theys was delighted to meet Joann Villeneuve, wife of Gilles in Montréal: “It was a real pleasure for me to meet Joann Villeneuve in the paddock of the ‘Gilles Villeneuve Circuit’ during the Grand Canadian Prix week-end. We talked about the ‘good old times’ about the years that have passed so quickly and about Jacques and Melanie, both grown up adults now, and about whom she’s very proud.”

Didier added: “It was also very nice to witness the emotion when she entered the Ferrari facility.” Indeed, Gilles Villeneuve was considered as a son by Enzo Ferrari who loved him dearly and he was immensely appreciated by the Scuderia Ferrari mechanics.
