thoughts on jacques villeneuve? I know almost nothing about the guy but he irks me everytime he appears on camera in wec or f1. This is solely based on vibes though, I'm waiting for your (def more qualified) opinion

oh this is a fun one. where do we start.

so, firstly: nepo baby. one of the og nepo babies, like Damon Hill and neither ascended to the heights of their dads' careers but then, maybe their dads wouldn't have in modern machinery etc and every era of F1 is distinct.

anyway. Jacques Villeneuve is an uhhhhhh divisive character due to having a disease many of us suffer from called Can't Shut The Fuck Up. sometimes this is Very Annoying and sometimes it is the funniest thing in the entire world, so who's to say what's good or bad.

he was a good F1 driver and he won his title on merit. he was also a dickhead on and off track throughout his career.

ever since then, he's been doing little bits with varying degrees of how funny he either a) intended them to be and b) actually are. making a really terrible album? go off, king, it's your art. turning up in Formula E, looking utterly confused for two races and fucking off? mixed results. talking trash 24/7 until Max Verstappen accuses Nico Rosberg of being the new version of you in a surprisingly apt former Williams driver who is nepo baby comparison that he may or may not have intended? on balance, iconic. taking up sim racing in lockdown because didn't all of us but refusing to make himself into an idiot with a proper rig and sitting at the kitchen table using a Playstation controller? life your life, girl.

so yeah, he's equal parts incredibly annoying and entertaining and to be fair, there should be more of that.
