Villeneuve: Raikkonen title not deserved

[555-04Q2]

Kimi who

JV who

They deserved their own title, but they had strong resemblance on how did they get the title more for lucky factor. Other than their winning season, they struggle. To know which one of them is better let them drive as teammate in one team, or join Webber racing Caravan.

You cannot compare Villeneuve's title to Räikkönen's. Villeneuve had a superior Newey-designed Williams and a weak teammate, while Räikkönen won the title in a very competitive season where teams were evenly matched. Mind you that Kimi finished second in the championship twice before joining Ferrari and won many races while Jacques didn't win anything after his car advantage was gone.

IMHO, JV is only surpassed by Jos in their relative delusions of grandeur. Yes, JV won the title, as would have any decent driver in that car with number 1 status. He's been a steaming turd ever since. He intervies like he was a seven time champion with 100 wins or something. ey jaques, Aren't there some weeds in your garden that need pulling or something...

I wish he would change his surname - he does no service to the memory of his father when he prattles on like this. The Villeneuve name is revered in F1, and attention seeking like this is diminishing the lustre...

Not only done, but he smoked all the weed, before he gave the interview. mokin: mokin:






A superior car, but it took a crazy block pass that put him in the path of MS, and if MS had slammed the brakes instead of hitting him and keeping him on the road, I doubt JV would have made the corner.....instead MS pays the price and loses out all around.

Love to say this, but JV is right on this one...

Also like that someone brought up that the FIA used to have balls (like DQing someones race result for driving by yellows flags too fast, even when 5 other drivers did exactly the same...back when being on probation meant something...)

Had the FIA not been neutered some time ago, they would have stripped those MacLeran drivers of their points as well as the team over spygate, that would have left the Ferrari boys to fight for the championship, and who knows... Kimi did benefit from some support from Massa.

[Roamy]

funny JV can still stir the turds after all these years. He would have had two championships but Frank gave one to Damon for all his work. Rakinon Hackinon - who cares

[Koz]

This has less to do with Kimi and more to do with the fact that JV and Massa were teammates, and Massa beat him... Since Massa beat him, obviously he must be a driving god... And Kimi is just a lucky maniac with asperger syndrome

[ioan]

Never understood why anyone is paying attention to this guy. Probably because of his surname, can't see any other reason.

[Rollo]

Villeneuve probably feels bad because Kimi won a title in a Ferrari and because Jacques' dad was such a legendary driver for Ferrari, he's probably feeling sour grapes that he was never asked to drive for them.

Why else would you make a comment about an almost four year old season?
