In the wake of the controversial penalty which cost Sebastian Vettel the Canadian Grand Prix, Maurice Hamilton remembers the famous battle at the French Grand Prix -- the next race on the F1 calendar -- 40 years ago between two men fighting for second position.
There's an interesting irony in Renault's Cyril Abiteboul's view that discussion about the infamous Montreal penalty should not be forgotten now that F1 is moving on to the next race at Paul Ricard. The paradox is that exactly 40 years ago, the French Grand Prix was gloriously memorable for an 'incident' involving a Renault that lasted the best part of a lap and would have sent today's social media into meltdown.
