		Perhaps his greatest achievements came in 1981, where he wrestled an unwieldy turbo Ferrari to victory in the Monaco Grand Prix, followed by a classic of defensive driving at the Spanish Grand Prix, keeping 5 quicker cars behind him using his tactical acumen and the superior straightline speed of his car.
		After glimpses of promise in the opening races, Villeneuve was back at the front for the San Marino Grand Prix, only for his team-mate Didier Pironi to disobey team orders and beat him to the line.
		On May 8, 1982, on the final qualifying lap for the Belgian Grand Prix at Zolder, his car somersaulted over the back of a car on a slowing-down lap, throwing Villeneuve out into the catch fencing.

	BBC - h2g2 - The 1994 San Marino Grand Prix
		It's remembered as the race that claimed the life of one of the greatest racing drivers of all time, but Ayrton Senna's fatal crash at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix was only one of five major accidents which took place over the darkest weekend in the modern Formula One era.
		After a series of hearings and appeals the court's eventual decision, announced in 2005, was that the crash was caused by a broken steering column, although nobody was found to be at fault and all three Williams employees were acquitted.
		San Marino itself is too small to host a Grand Prix so the race is traditionally held at Imola in northern Italy.

		And while the turbos continued to improve, with wins in one-half of 14 races, the 1982 season was dominated by a rift between Villeneuve and Didier Pironi at Ferrari that would lead to tragedy for both men.
		After the San Marino Grand Prix, in which Pironi passed Villeneuve, against team orders, while the Ferraris were easily running 1-2 under turbo power, Gilles vowed he would never again speak to his team mate.

		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.

	San Marino Grand Prix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The San Marino Grand Prix was a Formula One championship race which had been run at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in the town of Imola, near the Apennine mountains in Italy, since 1981.
		In recent years, constructors have complained about the poor quality of the facilities at Imola, and there was much talk of dropping the San Marino Grand Prix from the Formula One championship, especially since there is another grand prix being held in Italy.
		So it is more likely that the calendar excluded Imola because the FIA want to push the circuit to settle matters sooner.
