As a result, the reaction from the French fans was more split than it would usually have been, and the rift between the two drivers meant Arnoux was to move on at the end of the year, joining another compatriot at Ferrari in Patrick Tambay. The Ferrari racer crossed the line just two tenths of a second ahead, but both were treated like heroes by the crowd that adored them for the exciting show they had put on – and both racers received that adulation as one in an inspiring display of mutual respect.
