Ferrari marks 30th anniversary of Villeneuve's death

Ferrari marked the 30th anniversary of the death of fan favorite Gilles Villeneuve on Tuesday with the Canadian's son, Jacques, behind the wheel of one of his cars at the Italian team's Fiorano test track.

With double world champion Fernando Alonso and Brazilian Felipe Massa looking on, the 1997 world champion stepped into the 1979 312 T4 his father drove to three victories that season.

Also present were some of the Berthierville driver's old mechanics, former technical director Mauro Forghieri, Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo and current team principal Stefano Domenicali.
