Jacques Joseph Charles Villeneuve , OQ (born April 9, 1971 in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu ) is a Canadian racing driver . In 1995 he won the Indy Car title , before he started in the top motorsport class Formula 1 between 1996 and 2006 , where he became world champion in 1997 .
Villeneuve is one of the few racing drivers who has won both the IndyCar series title and the F1 title in their career. He is also the son of Ferrari driver Gilles Villeneuve , who died in a 1982 accident and is still revered as a legend by the Tifosi today.
During his Formula 1 days, the Canadian always stood out for his extravagant appearance with changing hair colors and casual clothing. The fact that his racing suit is always at least two sizes too big is now one of his trademarks. In addition, Villeneuve was known for his public expressions of opinion without consideration for political correctness and is generally known as a "crosshead". He also became known for his rivalry with his German Formula 1 rival Michael Schumacher , whom he accused doggedly and denied any charisma.
Career
Indy Cars
Villeneuve had his first major successes in the IndyCar World Series organized by CART , which is comparable to Formula 1 racing cars. Apart from street circuits and circuits, high-speed ovals are also used here, for example on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway . In 1994 he drove for Team Green, which used Reynard chassis and Ford- Cosworth engines. In his debut year he took a win and finished sixth in the drivers' championship. He was named Rookie of the Year , the best newcomer to the series. In 1995 he had four victories, including the Indianapolis 500 , and was champion of the IndyCar World Series with 172 points. The successes and his famous family name drew the attention of Frank Williams , who signed him for 1996 to replace David Coulthard .
formula 1
The Williams period (1996 to 1998)
Villeneuve drove off 1996 in the formula 1 and scored in his first race in the Williams-Renault in Melbourne the pole position . Villeneuve almost won the race, but fell back to second behind his team-mates and the eventual world champion Damon Hill due to a technical defect . He achieved his first victory at the fourth Formula 1 race of the 1996 season, the European Grand Prix at the Nürburgring . Three more wins followed in his debut season, including the Portuguese Grand Prix . He succeeded in a spectacular overtaking maneuver against the two-time world champion Michael Schumacher when he overtook him on the outside of the Senna curve, which is actually hostile to overtaking. Villeneuve still had a chance to win the title until the last race in Japan , but after the right rear wheel on his car came off, he had to give up the race. Damon Hill won the race and the overall World Championship standings, Jacques Villeneuve was runner-up.
After Damon Hill, who was replaced by Heinz-Harald Frentzen , left, Villeneuve fought against Michael Schumacher ( Ferrari ) for the world title in 1997 . After a strong start to the season, Villeneuve was in the lead in the world championship, but Michael Schumacher was able to significantly reduce the point gap to Villeneuve, partly due to mistakes Villeneuve and the Williams team. For example, Williams sent both drivers out on the track with dry tires at the Monaco Grand Prix, despite heavy rain. At the Canadian Grand Prix , Villeneuve spun at the end of the second lap and had to end the race early in front of his fans. Before the Grand Prix of Luxembourg , Schumacher led the World Cup by one point, but had to give up the race after a collision at the start with his brother Ralf Schumacher and his teammate Giancarlo Fisichella . Villeneuve won the race and started the last two races with a nine point lead. Villeneuve was banned from the race due to a neglected yellow flag in free practice at the Japanese Grand Prix . Williams lodged a protest with the FIA and was therefore able to start anyway. Villeneuve only reached fifth place while his title rival won the race. Williams withdrew the protest after the race to avoid a possibly tougher penalty. Schumacher started the last race of the season at the Circuito de Jerez as the world championship leader with a one-point lead over Villeneuve . When Villeneuve tried to overtake Schumacher, who was in the lead, a collision occurred between the two, which the FIA had deliberately brought about by Schumacher. As a result of the collision, the Ferrari driver had to park his damaged racing car while Villeneuve was able to continue. Mika Häkkinen won the race , David Coulthard came second . Villeneuve let both drivers pass in the final corners of the race as third place was enough for him to win the title. After the collision with Jacques Villeneuve, Michael Schumacher was deprived of all World Championship points of the season by the FIA, whereby Heinz-Harald Frentzen advanced to second place in the World Championship in the Williams.
In 1998, Williams sank as a result of rule changes, the departure of its chief designer Adrian Newey and the loss of the engine supplier Renault in the middle. Williams relied on Mecachrome engines based on the 1997 Renault engines. During the season it became clear that Williams had no chance against Ferrari and the re-energized McLaren . Villeneuve couldn't get a win, and the only highlights for him were the two third places in the German Grand Prix and the Hungarian Grand Prix . In the overall standings, he finally finished fifth behind the McLaren and Ferrari drivers.
The BAR years (1999 to 2003)
Villeneuve then moved to the new BAR-Supertec team in 1999 , which operated with old Renault engines and in which its manager Craig Pollock was involved. His teammate was the Brazilian Ricardo Zonta . Before the first race, the team talked about GP victories, but until the end of the season they didn't get a point. The car suffered from extreme unreliability and Villeneuve was only able to see the checkered flag at the twelfth race of the year ( Belgian Grand Prix ).
After Honda joined BAR as an engine partner, things went better in 2000 . Villeneuve scored the first points for BAR in the first race at the Australian Grand Prix . 2000 can be described as his best year in the team, although it did not make it onto the podium, the car was much more competitive than in 1999. This season it scored seventeen points and finished seventh in the world championship.
In 2001 , Olivier Panis replaced Ricardo Zonta at BAR, who never succeeded in putting Villeneuve under pressure. It was much more balanced with the new team-mate, but in the end it was Villeneuve who was able to achieve the first two podium places for the team. But the season began tragically for Villeneuve. At the first race of the year ( Australian Grand Prix ) there was an accident between him and Ralf Schumacher (Williams-BMW), in which a marshal was killed. After this accident, Villeneuve suffered from back pain for the rest of the year, which he was only able to cure completely during the winter break.
Shortly before the start of the 2002 season , team principal and Villeneuve manager Craig Pollock was replaced by David Richards . The mood between the new boss and Villeneuve was not good. Richards wanted to get rid of Villeneuve because he thought he would earn too much, but Villeneuve insisted on his contract, which ran until the end of 2003. In terms of sport, 2002 was a disappointment. BAR was no longer as competitive as in previous years. Villeneuve was twelfth in the drivers' world championship with just four points.
Jacques Villeneuve got a new team-mate in 2003 , Jenson Button , who also scored more points at the end of the season. It was the first loss to a teammate since his 1996 debut season against Damon Hill. But Villeneuve suffered a total of eight technical failures (some in promising positions), while Button only had three failures. As a result, Villeneuve was only able to get six points. At the end of the season, the argument between him and David Richards came to a head. Richards delayed the negotiations again and again in order to then present Takuma Sato as his successor before the last race at the Japanese Grand Prix . Villeneuve was disappointed with Richard's team policy and skipped the last race.
The comeback (2004 to 2006)
_qualifying_at_US_Grand_Prix_2005.jpg)
Due to the late separation from BAR, which was surprising for Villeneuve, he was initially unable to secure a cockpit for 2004 . But after Ralf Schumacher's serious accident at the US Grand Prix , the Williams team was looking for a replacement. Negotiations were made with Villeneuve, but he didn't just want to be a replacement and requested a regular cockpit for 2005, which Frank Williams refused. Instead, Schumacher was not replaced by Villeneuve, but successively by test drivers Marc Gené and Antonio Pizzonia . After the Italian Grand Prix , however, the Renault team dismissed Jarno Trulli and Villeneuve returned to the Formula One circuit for the last three races. At the same time he signed a two-year contract with Sauber . In his three appearances in 2004 Villeneuve could not get a point. Due to the forced break, he had problems with the faster cars from the 2004 series and could not adapt quickly enough to the new conditions.
In 2005 he replaced the Italian Giancarlo Fisichella at Sauber, who switched to the Renault team. At the beginning, Villeneuve had problems keeping up with his team-mate Felipe Massa , especially the brakes caused difficulties. At the time there were rumors that he would be replaced during the season, but as the season progressed he found his way around better (including fourth in the San Marino Grand Prix). At the end of the season he was 14th in the World Cup with nine points, one place behind Massa.
The Sauber team was taken over by BMW in 2006. BMW signed Nick Heidfeld as its number 1 driver, while the existing contract with Villeneuve was only confirmed in November 2005. At the Malaysian Grand Prix , Villeneuve scored the first points for BMW-Sauber with his seventh place. The third race of the season in Australia was more successful , where he scored three points for the BMW team with sixth place. Despite finishing 19th on the grid, Villeneuve managed to cross the finish line just two places behind his team-mate Heidfeld. After his accident at the German Grand Prix at the Hockenheimring , Jacques Villeneuve did not take part in the Hungarian Grand Prix . According to official reports, he suffered from a headache and it was stated that he wanted to test test driver Robert Kubica under racing conditions. At this point, however, the suspicion was expressed that Villeneuve would no longer return to the cockpit. It was seen by those responsible at BMW as a relic from the time before the Sauber team was taken over. On August 7, 2006, the BMW Sauber F1 Team officially announced that it would terminate the current contract with Jacques Villeneuve with immediate effect and use Robert Kubica as the second driver in the future.
According to Formula 1
Le Mans 24 hour race
Villeneuve was one of six drivers who contested the 2007 Le Mans 24-hour race for the Peugeot -Total Team in a Peugeot 908 HDi FAP . Team Villeneuve, Marc Gené and Nicolas Minassian were able to secure third place in qualification, but had to give up the race 70 minutes before the finish due to a defect in the diesel engine. At this point the car was in second place behind the eventual winner, the Audi R10 TDI . The second Peugeot 908 with the driver combination Sébastien Bourdais , Pedro Lamy and Stéphane Sarrazin inherited second place.
On February 15, 2008, Peugeot announced that Villeneuve, Gené and Minassian had also been reported in 2008 . Villeneuve also drove with both of them in the championship run of the Le Mans Series in Spa-Francorchamps , which the trio won. On June 14, 2008, a month after the victory in Spa, he qualified the car in third place on the grid. In the race, the trio took the lead for the first time on lap 48. Some of the three Audi R10 TDI cars were significantly slower, but in contrast to the Peugeot 908 they were more reliable and easier to control in the rain. Since it rained during the night, the Audi with the trio Rinaldo Capello , Allan McNish and Tom Kristensen was able to take the lead, which they did not give up until the finish. The Peugeot with starting number 7 from Villeneuve, Gené and Minassian finished the race four and a half minutes behind in second place.

2007 moved Villeneuve to the NASCAR team Bill Davis Racing , which planned to use him for the 2008 season in the Sprint Cup . In order to achieve the necessary conditions for this, he was initially used by the team in the last seven races in the 2007 Craftsman Truck Series season . For his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race, the Smith's Las Vegas 350 , which took place on September 22, 2007 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway , he qualified in seventh place and finished it in 21st place.
He drove the Craftsman Truck Series race and the UAW Ford 500 of the Nextel Cup on the Talladega Superspeedway . There was criticism from some quarters of the planned Nextel Cup appearance, as many were of the opinion that it was too quick a climb. In addition, Talladega has a special position and can hardly be compared with any other race. For example, NASCAR races in Talladega are Restrictor Plate races , in which the vehicles drive along two lanes in two lanes and at extremely high speeds only a few centimeters next to and behind one another for large parts of the race. Inexperienced NASCAR pilots like Villeneuve in particular run the risk of making a driving error due to the resulting special characteristics, which then inevitably ends in a mass accident. In qualifying, Villeneuve finished sixth on his first appearance in the Cup. However, he did not notice it, but instead, as previously announced at the drivers' meeting, dropped back to the end of the field before the start. In his first race Villeneuve acted cautiously and finished 21st with two smaller wall contacts.
With the beginning of the 2008 season, Villeneuve's NASCAR career was already facing the end. So he found no sponsor until the start of the season, and after he was involved in expensive accidents in the Gatorade Duels and could not qualify for the Daytona 500 , he was temporarily suspended by team owner Bill Davis . Since then he has only entered the NASCAR Nationwide Series races on the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal and two races in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series .
In the 2010 season Villeneuve again contested two races in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. In 2013 he competed in the Toyota / Save Mart 350 at the Sonoma Raceway . Starting from 22nd place, Villeneuve dropped out due to engine problems, but was still classified in 41st place.
Comeback at the Indianapolis 500
On February 26, 2014, Villeneuve announced that it would be competing at the Indianapolis 500 for the Schmidt Peterson Motorsports team . For the race, which took place on May 25, 2014, he qualified in 27th place. Villeneuve finished in 14th place.
Attempt to return to Formula 1 with your own team
In spring 2010 Jacques Villeneuve applied to compete in the 2011 Formula 1 World Championship with his own team. The existence of the necessary organizational background was initially not recognizable, later Villeneuve connected with the Italian Formula 2 team Durango , which had also previously applied. In the summer of 2010, both pursued the goal of building a Formula 1 team. Jacques Villeneuve was supposed to return to Formula 1 as a driver as part of this project. Ultimately, the project could not be implemented. The FIA decided on September 8, 2010 not to allow a new team for the 2011 season.
Formula E championship
For the 2015/2016 Formula E championship , the second season of this racing series, Villeneuve replaced Nick Heidfeld at the Monegasque Venturi racing team . However, Villeneuve only played the first three races of the season and was replaced by the British Mike Conway after he had clearly missed qualifying for the race due to an accident at the Punta del Este ePrix 2015 in Punta del Este .
NASCAR Whelen Euro Series
Villeneuve has been participating in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series since 2019 . He starts this season for the Go Fas Racing team.
Private
Jacques Villeneuve was engaged to the Australian singer Dannii Minogue (sister of the singer Kylie Minogue ) in the late 1990s , then to the American dancer Elly Green.
At the beginning of 2006 he met Johanna Martinez, who was twelve years his junior from Paris. The two married on May 29, 2006 in Switzerland and had two sons. In July 2009, the couple separated.
The family lived in Villars-sur-Ollon and from 2007 mainly in Montréal. Villeneuve owned a restaurant with a night bar there, which he sold in 2009. Whose name "Newtown" is the English translation of his family name.
music
In addition to his motorsport career, Jacques Villeneuve is also active as a musician. In February 2007 his debut album "Private Paradise" was released. There are 13 tracks on it, all of which he composed himself (one of them - "Father" - together with his sister Melanie). In addition, the album contains duets with Amelie and Ely tailored as well as Melanie and his half-sister Jessica. Four of the 13 titles were recorded in English, the others in French.
