EXCLUSIVE: A feature doc on one of Formula 1’s most dramatic moments, the row between Ferrari drivers Gilles Villeneuve and Didier Pironi, is the first project to emerge from Finding Jack Cha…

will focus on an intense two-week period in the early 1980s that became known as ‘The Betrayal’. The film will feature interviews with those closest to the two men, with premiere date set for late next year.

The teammates were both aiming to win the 1982 F1 World Title but, during the final laps of that year’s San Marino Grand Prix, Pironi passed Villeneuve to win the race while Villeneuve believed the two had been instructed to slow down. This was an unexpected act that went completely against the team orders Villeneuve thought they were obeying and they never spoke again. Villeneuve died in a crash just two weeks later.

Australian racing driver Webber is exec producing, Torquil Jones is directing and McKenna is producing the film, which will air on Sky/Now TV in Italy, Germany and the UK and be distributed elsewhere by Sky-owner Comcast’s NBCUniversal Global Distribution arm. The film is reflective of what Noah and Sky want to do with their recently-struck partnership, telling “stories that don’t appeal just to a hardcore sporting audience but can break out,” according to director and Noah Co-Founder Jones, while Clarke said they will have “universal appeal, a strong narrative arc and emotional authenticity.”
