1997 Le duel qui a marqué une époque (The book is only available in French)
On October 26, 1997, Jacques Villeneuve became Formula 1 world champion.
For many, it was the culmination of the work begun by his father twenty years earlier. For the young man, he was simply fulfilling his childhood dream. That was enough for him. It was already a lot. Villeneuve had to work as hard as he ever had to win this championship. He had to dig deep to beat Michael Schumacher, already a two-time world champion on his way to takes his place among the giants of his sport.
In 1997, Villeneuve and Schumacher fought an intense battle that lasted the whole season, each side striking back hard at the other. The result was one of Formula 1's thrilling seasons. An exciting championship, between two drivers with such different, but at the same time so similar, temperaments.This book tells the full story of the battle that fascinated the world of Formula 1.
