Jacques Villeneuve critical of Ferrari: “The usual chaos, imploding for years”. Jacques Villeneuve critical of Ferrari.

Jacques Villeneuve and Ferrari
The Villeneuve surname will always be linked to Scuderia Ferrari, thanks to Gilles’ unforgettable achievements, a driver  who was capable of entering the history of Formula 1 and the imagination of all fans despite statistics showing only six victories in the top category of motorsport.

But as we know, numbers are not meant to evoke emotions, and it is precisely in this area that Gilles has earned his place in the hearts of fans, a place far more enduring than many other drivers who have managed to write their name in the list of Formula 1 world champions.

But a world championship for the Villeneuve family came thanks to son Jacques, who was able to win the F1 title in 1997 after a battle that remains in history against Ferrari and Michael Schumacher. Arriving in Formula 1 during the German’s era in Maranello, Jacques never had the chance to follow in his father’s footsteps under the logo of the Prancing Horse, climbing aboard a Red car – his father’s for a few exhibition laps – only at the end of his career, which unfolded between Williams, Bar, Sauber, and Renault.

Jacques Villeneuve, strong words for Ferrari
Over the years, fans have come to know Jacques’ character, decidedly undiplomatic and with opinions often sharp and certainly not politically correct. So it is not surprising the words he gave to RacingNews365 website, commenting on the recent departures from Maranello’s technical staff (Mattia Binotto, David Sanchez, Laurent Mekies): “People come and go, there is the usual chaos. They have been imploding for years. It seems like an endless story. Usually when you implode, there is a moment when you stop imploding. Not at Ferrari, they keep going.”

and on Red Bull’s dominance
The Canadian was amazed by the harsh criticism one can read about Red Bull, capable of winning 14 of the last 15 races: “Their dominance is not as big as Mercedes’ a few years ago, so why complain? We’re not talking about a huge gap; for example, they didn’t get the pole in Baku. They are just working better than the others. When Mercedes was dominating, they could make mistakes and still win. Red Bull can’t afford to make mistakes. They win because they are the best, and the car is better than others. The driver works best with the engineers, there is no chaos and no politics. They all work in the same direction, and in the end, they win. But if they make a mistake, they don’t win. So it’s not a clear domination,” Jacques Villeneuve concluded.
