Top 10 Moments of Jacques Villeneuve Brilliance

Schumacher lost each battle for championship he had really to fight for, even the final race in 1994 he lost his nerves and made a horrible mistake under pressure. Schumacher only could win if there was no other contestant to bother him. He was fast but a poor racer indeed.

If not the paranormal mechanic prob of ferrari he should never be a wc...just bad luck of micheal...after that year he lost in the jungle....that a big proof that it was an f1 accident😅😅

Villeneuve foi campeão com méritos sim e bravo superando a febre, a desvantagem no começo da prova e por fim a deslealdade de shumacher!!!

Jacques Villeneuve is my Dad

That moment Schumacher tried to crash him off to win by one point. You can’t blame him, it worked a few years earlier. Not this time my friend. Nice one Martin.

Just think if Jacques signed for McLaren in 99...

Villeneuve gave up a win to Hill in 96 and then Hill had to give up a win to him a year later

This man nearly won his debut Grand Prix

It’s a shame that Jacques never had a truly competitive car after ‘97, but anyone who wins the CART Championship, the Indy 500 and the F1 World Championship by the age of 26 is seriously talented.

I have the same birthday as him

I think his years with BAR badly affected his driving. he was trying to hard with bad machinery. had a negative impact when he tried to move on with his career after BAR

jacques Villeneuve is not a canadian racing car driver. NO NOT AT ALL . but for sure he is a real wide world winner champion racing car driver of Quebec

Heinz-Harald Frentzen actually finished 3rd and on the podium in the 1998 Australian GP which was of course the season opener. Not that I like to be pedantic but that fact just stays with me for some reason. 😂

This is when Canadian Motorsport was at its peak.

Greg Moore and Paul Tracy in CART.

Tagliani entered the CART scene a year after Moore’s passing; the next to carry the torch.

One Of The Forgotten 1997 F1 World Champion

Don't knock down Jacques Villeneuve's career.

Sure, he had very awful moment in his career... He started in Italian touring car with an Andora license that he received with help of casc in 1988, and all the touring car races he did in 1988 were awful. Than moved to formula 3 and it took him a bit to be competitive.

He ended up 2nd in F3 in Japan in 1992 (as well as taking a start in sport prototype with Eddie Irvine and Tom Kristensen for Toyota: imagine if Toyota had kept that trio for Le Mans with the 94C-V), moved to formula Atlantic and ended 3rd, moved to Cart and was competitive right away and won rookie of the year in his first year, won the cart title in 1995 and the Indy 500 (doing 505 miles), get to F1 was competitive right away finished 2nd and almost win the title as a rookie, won the title on his second season.

Who does that? He won IndyCar and F1 so close that it put him in a weird category with Nigel Mansell.

I think an issue downplayed that affected Villeneuve a lot was the grooved tires. I mean sure the BAR run didn't help his career, and I think motivation was an issue. However, the groove tires cars had a tendancy to understear more than with the slicks.

Also, he wasn't exactly a natural. He was a student: he took courses at Jim Russell driving school, Spenard driving school, Magione driving school, Tom's driving school. He also received mentorship from Roland Ratzenberger, David Empringham, and Claude Bourbonnais. This is one of the F1 champions who spent the most time studying how to race a car. This is something I respect: it's one thing for Hamilton to win titles, he is so talented that it come naturally. But someone who spent so much time working and receiving training is something else.

The last WDC with French as mother tongue!

QUÉBEC

After Jacques Villeneuve, Lance Stroll had last Canadian pole position in F1

His 1998 Williams season was very underrated. Outperformed his teammate by a wide margin. Same for his years at BAR until his last. He did not have bad driving seasons in those “lost” BAR years.

Un pilote brillant et passionné 🇨🇦❤

Best of luck to Jacques at Daytona.

I feel like the Schumacher documentry on Netflix portrayed him as a bad guy.

Σιγα τον οδηγο

He should never have left Williams, that was a massive cockup...

Probably the most underrated WDC ever in F1. Jenson Button comes close to this level of underrated.

If underrated was an f1 driver

Bad career decisions ,he could have 3 titles to his name

Jacques Villeneuve Is A Legend Who Learned From His Pops A Legendary Ferrari Driver Gilles Villeneuve ... Jacques Is A Triple Crown Champion ... Who Should Be Representing The Sport Of Formula 1 Today In Some Capacity ... Im Shocked He Is No Where To Be Seen @ Liberty Media Corporation ... He Made Micheal Schumacher look Mortal ... He's Not Only One Of America's Greatest Drivers ... One Of The Worlds Greatest Drivers .

One of the North American F1 Greats who's never talked about. One of the most entertaining personalities in motorsports as well

She fails to mention how much worse that 96 ferrari was. It was actually embarassing for him being chased by that car haha

Villeneuve in 96 and 97 💪- Villeneuve is rest of career 😣

That BAR move... Imagine if he went with Mclaren

"Had his eyes closed or his hands slid on the steering wheel". Spoken like a true Canadian.

Vive le Québec !!!
On vous aiment les cousins !!!

One of my favourite F1 drivers.big mistake going to BAR

Mario Andretti did NOT take pole on his F1 debut.

JV is the GOAT for me, but bad management and decisions cost him multiple F1 titles. Shame...

I wish the qualifying for F! races were done in cheaper F2 or F3 spec cars (real spec cars), so we could see who is fastest driver, not fastest car, then the race in the real F1 cars

Villeneuve was a super talented driver . Deserved far more than one championships . I think he didn't have the motivation to go for more . He just wanted one .

Supernova....

Fun Facts:
Back then, he used to check whatever tracks he could find online or in games to learn their general shape/corners on his computer before he even stepped foot for the first time ever at the real track.
He also used to love driving the games using a joystick.

Like its personnality and its comments on canal + . With the right car he won

He was moudit cause of him going bald at a young age
