This is the emotional story of Patrick Tambay's rollercoaster
Formula 1 ride with Ferrari. The saga began in 1982 with the
tragedy of his friend and fellow driver Gilles Villeneuve's death
in the Belgian Grand Prix at Zolder and then unfolded as Tambay
took Villeneuve's place in car number 27, achieved race victories
and, as the 1983 season developed, fought for the World
Championship. Told in 27 chapters, this is a tale not only of
Formula 1 in those colourful years but also a rare and revealing
account of life inside Maranello in the twilight of the Enzo
Ferrari era, supported by magnificent photographs by Paul-Henri
Cahier.HighlightsBritish GP, 1982: at Brands Hatch Tambay's second
race for Ferrari brings his first-ever podium finish, in his 55th
Formula 1 start.German GP, 1982: after team-mate Didier Pironi's
career-ending crash during practice at Hockenheim, Tambay lifts his
sombre Ferrari team with his first Formula 1 win.Italian GP, 1982:
in front of Ferrari's emotional home crowd at Monza, Tambay
finishes second, with the great Mario Andretti, his team-mate for
this one race, behind him in third place.San Marino GP, 1983:
Tambay delivers exactly what the Scuderia's fans desire - victory
at Imola for the number 27 Ferrari 12 months after Gilles's last
race. South African GP, 1983: Tambay's farewell race for Ferrari
sees him on pole position (his sixth front-row start in seven
races), but a mechanical failure denies him any chance of a final
victory.
