Jacques Villeneuve was just 12 when his father \\u2013 swashbuckling fan favourite Gilles Villeneuve \\u2013 was killed in practice for the Belgian Grand Prix. You might have thought that would turn the Canadian away from pursuing a racing career of his own, but instead Jacques climbed \\u2013 unconventionally \\u2013 all the way to the top of the Grand Prix tree, winning the F1 world title his father was never able to in 1997.
