“Gilles and the 126”
by Nicholas Watts

This print depicts Gilles Villeneuve during a quiet moment in the cockpit of his Ferrari 126CK. In 1981, Scuderia Ferrari entered a new era, moving away from their familiar 3 litre flat 12 engine and introducing a turbocharged V6. Villeneuve finished the season with two memorable victories, winning at Monaco and Spain.
