Default Jacques Villeneuve

What happened to him? I heard that this year he won't be racing for F1. Where does he going to move? CART? IRL?

Yea, I was always think Jacques Villeneuve a damn good driver in F1 but for the past couple of years, definitely his performance was very poor. Isn't he a part owner of BAR Honda though?

Oh yea, he is definitely a great driver just like his father was. The guy is a daredevil. I've always thought Jacques is the only driver that can compete against Schumi.

Jacques won because he had a better car then shumi aswell FIA tried to fuck shumi over,

Jacques with BAR - they have him a shitty car, it allways fucked up on him, i don't think he will back in f1 in the near future, BAR kinda made him look bad even tho it was there shitty car not his fault, but he might be a test driver for another team

I hope Jacques will be back to F1 though with a better car soon but yea, it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen though. I really think Jacques is as fast, if not, faster than Schumi.

How can someone lost his talent though? I mean talent is something that's natural. I don't think anyone can lose a talent. I still have confidence in Jacques though.

Exactly, he definitely didn't lose his talent, it's definitely the car. He was doing so well with Williams Renault back then but after Renault backed out from F1 for few years, Williams wasn't doing too hot, then he was with the BAR Honda which has a horrible car itself. Even though I'm a big Honda fan but BAR Honda is nothing special beside a disappointment. I definitely think that if BAR Honda would have a better car or maybe put him in the Ferrari next to Schumi, I bet Jacques would do really well and will give Schumi a hard time with his championship.

do you follow f1?

they disqualified him for the championship. when he was 1 point ahead, for "excessivly agressive driving" that allowed Jacques to win,

it is Jacques not Jack (is not some nascar driver from the south) and Jacques was just as agressive as shumi was that day, did you watch the race? Jacques forced shumi off the track at the start of the race, FIA did nothing about that, Shumi's move on Jacques is very common and only at that point did they try to screw him over when he was 1 point ahead.
