		Yet Pironi passed Villeneuve before the Tosa hairpin with 1/2 lap remaining and took the win, causing Villeneuve — who said "I was cruising along so easily and believed that Pironi was being honest until he slid past me with all wheels locked" — to vow he would never speak to his team mate again.
		Consumed with dismay and disbelief at being betrayed, Gilles was determined to beat Pironi in the Dutch Grand Prix at Zolder two weeks later.
