Fun fact: Jacques Villeneuve is the last non-European world champion in F1
Wow you’re right
Tsunoda next non european
Hamilton is not European, he is British!! 😡🤬
@@xmob2493 And whether you like it or not, Great Britain is geographically part of Europe. I think you're getting Europe all mixed up with the EU in your silly anger 🤷♂️
@@MrBritishComedy
It was meant ironicly, thanks for pointing it out anyways. ☺️
Indy 500 champion, CART champion and F1 world champion in his second season in the respective sport - what an achievement!
Yup, and you'll still find a lot of F1 fans insisting that his world championship was entirely down to the car and that Jacques had no talent. Mind boggling, really.

Have my upvote!
@@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X Gladly, kind sir!
And finished second overall at lemans! the closest anyone has been to the triple crown.
@@louisxavier22
Except Graham Hill, who won all three.
So happy that he was able to complete his dad's dream
His father’s dream was to win for Ferrari.
Your profile picture I know where is from... just, why? :D
@@zwgy20 which he did
Villeneuve had, what could at best be called, a career in reverse. He peaked in his first 2 years of the sport, but from there struggled for relevancy and slipped more and more down the pecking order. But for those first 2 season, few could touch villeneuve
Pole position in his first race at Melbourne and the way he aggressively drove against Hill during that race to be denied the win because he had some sort of mechanical glitch, I thought this guy was going to be a F1 sensation. He didn t have a car in 1998 to defend his title with Williams losing Renault engines and not having the might of Newey. Going to BAR was where his career really went flat.
Similar to vettel. Vettel fell off after 2014 but kept it together for 2015-2018
@@WinTech4074 nah but Vettel was in F1 for 3 years before his 1st title, and he won 4 in a row. Besides, he kept in a more than decent level until 2018. Villeneuve just faded after his first two years.
@@richt4009 his first season at bar wasn’t bad considering, but after that first season, especially after the 2nd was the proper downhill in HIS performance.
@@WinTech4074 Vettel had many battles for race wins and even for the championship in 2017, 18. Villeneuve didn't have these moments after he left Williams at all.
From scoring no points in their first year, to winning eight double championships in about twenty years. The team from Brackley have come a long way.
Especially if you consider British American Tobacco bought Tyrell, then an even bigger story comes up.
This comment should be reproduced a million times. A team started by Ken Tyrrell, with some success, and completely left alone by 2008, ended one of the most successful teams in the history of the sport. Kids, check this example, you do not know what support you would find in the future. Believe your ideas and your ideals. :)
There is an F1 official podcast with the top guns of the Brackley Boys on the history and evolution of the team. Worth listening to.
@@gianniskamakas3578 Kids, don't listen to this guy.
Mercedes has nothing to do with bar, Honda or tyrell they just bought their spot, this comment seems silly to me
"you hit the wrong part of him my friend" 💀💀
What does scare quotes around a sound bite lacking punctuation, and two skulls imply?
It’s moments like those that make me doubt Schumacher was the GOAT. Terrible sportsmanship that inevitably cost him that championship.
@@jamesorrell7462, I've never understood this "cheating" accusation. That was just racing back then! Prost and Senna did it to each other (and, in Senna's case, to Nigel Mansell), and even Hill did it back to Schumacher. When everyone around you is successful doing it, and the FIA is doing nothing to put a stop to it, one ought not blame Schumacher for seizing the opportunity. Schumacher was the one who was most heavily penalized for it in the end, but I find it hard to fault him given the era in which he drove.
@@jamesorrell7462 the difference between him and Hamilton is: Schumacher had moments like these where the controversial part actually happened ON TRACK, unlike Hamilton who enjoys his benefits from the steward room
I love that words from Brundle.
The pass on Schumi around the last corner at Estoril, is one of the best overtaking maneouvres of all time.
It was a very courageous move that paid off. Could have quite easily gone the other way. Patrese had a get out of jail card after hitting Berger on coming out of that corner back in 1992.
JV had cojones. On and off the track 💯
His music career tho... 👌
Yooo it's josh
Yeah... if you want to give up on living.
Don’t be a manus

I remember when I was younger, as a quebecker I was just so stoked that there was a French Canadian in F1 and that he won a world championship. I didn't know much else about his context or anything, but just that made me really excited about F1.
do people really can them "French Canadian" ? i'm french we call them "Quebecois" it seems weird to me as they probably don't want to be associated with France x)
@@EreVR-jp8dd yeah, I’m from Montreal and from what I know, just about all Canadians call french speaking Canadians “French Canadians”
@@EreVR-jp8dd It's the same logic as saying "African American" I think: country of origin + home country. It's true quebeckers will more often call themselves "québecois" but both are correct, and I guess "French Canadian" has the added advantage of covering all french-speaking communities of Canada.
@@EreVR-jp8dd That's a reallly interesting question. The two are used, but surveys in Québec show that Quebecker/Québécois is more used than French Canadian by the population. Some will even use both term, depending on the situation. The increase use of Quebecker/Québécois is a steady trend since the 60 and the "Révolution tranquille". And there is actually a great number of articles and research on this subject.
@@EreVR-jp8dd I'm English Canadian and if I know someone is actually from Québec I would call them Québécois, but otherwise I would say French-Canadian because they could be Acadian, Franco-Ontarian etc.
He is still remain the most recent F1 world champion from Williams
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.
When you add that he started at like 15 years old, it's pretty mad. First start in Italian F3 at 18, Indy Car (when it was dope) and Indy 500 champ at 24.
Jerez 97 was absolutely legendary !
Jacques was great in his first years... he has won Indy 500, Champcar Series and F1 World Champ.
dont know why he never really focused on 24h of Le Mans
He was second at 2008 Le Mans, not bad.
@@danielgorski4202 with Loeb innit
He tried in 2009
@@danielgorski4202 it was 2008 actually
That’s still a better record than Alonso’s triple crown dream, I guess.
Happy birthday to Villeneuve, 50 years
50?! Oh my goodness, how time flies. No doubt Gilles is smiling down on Jacques from heaven.
Say what you want but he's one of a few drivers to have defeated Schumacher. Incredibly inconsistent but was great in 1997
simply he catched his chance.
Schumachers Car was much worse
@@Venton25not so true.
@@Venton25 Nope, not true. Stop playing the victim card.
@@Euclides287 that's what schumi's fans says to make what he did titanic.
that car was not simply, but simplified by barbard (at his last year with reds) with innovative suspension details, thanks to this the car was easy setuppable leaving more time for strategies, also thanks to following byrne updates gained more competitivity.
Murray Walker's 'out goes Micheal schumacher' is a relic to hear
My favourite driver back then. I was just at the right age to get into F1 when Villeneuve entered the sport. My dad liked Schumacher, so I had to go for the opposite. And Villeneuve was just perfect. At his best, he was daring, quick and ruthless.
I love the story about the Spa test with BAR, where he and Zonta more or less deliberately wrecked both cars, because they want to take Eau Rouge / Radillion flat out.
1.7 seconds gap to P2 in Qualy is brutal.
say what you want about him, the guy's an absolute legend
yeah that might be a bit of a stretch
Finally some Villeneuve love.
King of my childhood. For me as german sometimes hard because of the "Schumaina" all around me. I loved his style of racing. Just drive, take risks not just lean on the strategy.
One of the most under appreciated racing drivers ever if we’re looking at achievements.
Came to see the MOVE around the outside in Portugal. Wasn't disappointed.
"Do you accept me as your champ?
For all that I have achieved.
Yea! Yea!
Do you accept me as your chaammmpppp??"
I was on a roll ,
I hate Lance Stroll
Please respect meeee. Ignore Latifiiiiiiiiiii, yeah.
As a Canadian that was 12 in 95 this is my childhood and why I got i to F1.
Most underrated champion, he won the title in his second season but people forget about him a lot
Career decisions is crucial plus I don't think he won a race after his 1997 title
Tbf in 96 and 97 the Williams was so dominant, it was a miracle that Schumacher managed to take the fight to JV in 97. People perhaps forget JV because aside from his first 2 seasons, his career was mediocre at best.
@@alberttshina5696 no he didn’t, he only scored 2 podiums after becoming champion
@@garyambrosini1427 yeah you’re right. He just kind of existed after he won the title
One fatal mistake
He's join BAR
I remember as a very young Canadian F1 fan watching JV with my dad. So many great memories and bad ones too 😆 but JV did us proud 🇨🇦
nice video
ok Lewis
That's cool, like how I remember watching his dad while hanging out with mine LOL ! Great to see you here ! Not much content lately bro ?
Its so nice to see Frank William Smile
He is also one of the first to use a "simulator" (Grand Prix 2) to train on unknown tracks!
Probably the most underrated WDC ever in F1. Jenson Button comes close to this level of underrated.
Jacques Villeneuve still the reigning Williams F1 World Champion
The era when tracks had grass and gravel on the side, not just a concrete jungle and dust...
What a driver!
I need Top 10 Moments of Adrian Newey Brilliance
They are in short supply from 2014 onwards, they'd all rather chew away at mercedes floor instead of come up with something genius
Half of that video is right here
Gordon Murray too
@@SkodaYetiFan 3/4 of it is with Hakkinen and Vettel
I was shocked when I discovered he entered in the music industry 😂
as a french canadian, it became a running joke everywhere in Quebec.
I am still waiting for Top 10 Moments of Yuji Ide Brilliance
:D
And Tarso Marques
are there even 10 moments of anything in Ide's F1 Career
That Australian gp qualifying lap is one of the greatest quali laps of all time.
Outrageous it was
Haha lol
Happy Birthday Jacques
Schumi got no chill. Took out Damon in 94 but couldn't repeat the same in 97.
Happy Birthday Jacques Villeneuve, you are 50 years old today 🇨🇦🎉🙂👍
What a Hero!
This was great video, Jacques was my era of F1 crazy frantic races so awesome and the drama of that last race! Oh man look at the tension they were falling out even before the race! Then that qualy... And then THAT race. Great times
The best ever!!
VILLENEUVE one of the best!! For me ofc!
Happy Birthday Jacques 🥳
happy birthday jac
6:30 - Frentzen finished 3rd in Australia that year. Even Patrick Head forgot about it in the 1998 season review.
poor Frentzen :(
Yes, I remember Patrick Head not acknowledging Heinz Harald’s podium at the time.
Could have won his very first race in F1, and the championship in his first season.
Best debut season in F1 history.
him and Lewis Hamilton.... almost identical except for the total point. LH was on the new system and one or two more race in the championship.
Jacques was offered a seat at Mclaren based by Josh Revell
imagine the scenes if that happens
It's true. That's been known for two decades.
@@rupertpupkin9630 i see
He had bad years since 1998 (even so, he drove very well in some races) but the Indy 500, CART, and the f1 title 🏆 made him a respectable driver. 🇨🇦
His best years was in 1998 and after driving that 98 Williams shitbox to 5th and obliterating Zonta and Panis in the BAR lemon. His worst year was 1997 when he should have won the title with 5 races to spare.
Waiting for the video about his dad!
yes please
Happy birthday champ !!🍾🎂🏆
One of if not the best one time world champions.
He was a one time wonder.
Nah Schumacher was on his back with a much worse car
@@Venton25 yeah sure that Ferrari was so terrible, Irvine scored 5 podiums with it lol
Rosberg also 😁
Example Kimi Räikkönen, Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, Nigel Mansell , Keke Rosberg, Damon Hill..etc was better than Villeneuve
This man nearly won his debut Grand Prix
Happy 50th Jacques 🤗
The image at 6:06 is peak 90's!
Those cars!!!
I still can't believe he chose BAR in 99 instead of McLaren... 😢
He part owned BAR... might explain why. Still a big mistake
Happy Birthday Jacques!! He's why I became an F1 follower.
Happy Birthday to the Goat himself, Jacques Villeneuve
GOAT😂😂
Goal lol no
"Villeneuves storming drive had given Williams their first podium of 1998." -> That is wrong. ;) HHF finished third in the first race of 1998. :)
True. I noticed that too. It should have been "Villeneuves storming drive gave Williams their first shot at a win in 1998"
I realized it too xD I was like: "Huh? What about Frentzen?"
Thanks alot 👍was waiting for this for a long time.
Best commantator
Le meilleur duo avec Julien Fébreau sur les antennes de Canal + 🇫🇷 !!
Et quelle carrière ! Bravo Jacques. Un homme qu’on admire tous 💕
It's sad that people ignore or downright criticise Villeneuve's BAR years but in reality he did deliver some of his best performances during the early years and kept the team in the midfield just like Sergio Perez.
Shame his career never really got going..
Still always will be known as world champion!
Winning the F1 World Championship is a career fulfilled. Winning other respected championships is more career fulfilment. Saying that it "never got going" is just wrong.
@@ingerasulffs why?
After 97, he drove for teams that weren’t even competitive..
@@kye3170 So he took the challenge or the money. Nothing to do with career fulfilment though. The vast majority of professional racing drivers have not and will not win any significant championship ever. This guy won 3. Your statement about "never really got going" is nonsense.
“Nonsense” - whatever you say MA
His attempts to take eau rouge flat 98&99 should have been in it, along with his drift through there in 05. Still, great video! And perhaps most likable champ ever.
I hope a Team brings back the Split livery in the next couple of years
finally hes getting appreciated, thanks f1 for uploading it!
Such a great driver, shame he only had 1 title.
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.
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 .
Bonne anniversaire jaques on t’aime🇨🇦🇫🇷🥳🤩
I see Charles Leclerc like a spiritual successor to what Gilles could have been but no doubt Jacques did his old man proud.
I see Leclerc as more of a spiritual successor to what Bianchi could have been, but regardless of that Charles is his own man and has his own path.
Charles was born in Monaco bourgeoisie with all resources at his disposal, Gilles came from nothing from a poor town in the suburbs of Montreal, they're nothing alike. Jacques fulfilled his dad's legacy.
@@Maverick09925 Even Jacques didn't came with much, since Gilles had financial issues very often due to burning down his money super quickly
We need to get Charles on some snowmobiles in the off-season then
I was at Jérez 1997, it was great how he was ready for Schunonsense specially after earlier Sauber blocking attempts😊
I will always remember Jacques for Jerez 1997.
Happy Birthday JV!
1.754 seconds over your own teammate in qualifying.
ONE AND THREE-QUARTER SECONDS.
And nobody else within two seconds of him. Heck, only five other cars were within THREE seconds of his pole lap. He made the rest look silly that day... and then bogged down off the line and got punted out at Turn 1 of the race itself.
One of the greatest qualifying sessions by any driver. JV was a beast in his prime.
Happy birthday, Jacques!
I was fortunate enough to have watched his dad, uncle and Jaques himself race on the Atlantic Series races at Westwood race track in Coquitlam BC 🇨🇦. Lonnggg time ago. (Westwood Mountain High Race Track, for those who know of Westwood)
My absolute favorite. Never forget dying my hair white going to hungary. And I am sure he saw me waving at him.
he tried his hand at Nascar as well, what a feat if he won a race there. As a Canadian motorsports fan, JV was always a hero, even amongst his up and downs as well as strange personality.
This guys is so cool. Great commentator on french tv, real funny guy.
LEGEND
And now he is commentator for Canal+, really fun
No.1: his music career
More of this please
Bravo Jacques!
This is when Canadian Motorsport was at its peak.
Villeneuve in F1
Greg Moore and Paul Tracy in CART.
Ron Fellows in a GTS Vette.
Tagliani entered the CART scene a year after Moore’s passing; the next to carry the torch.
don't forget Carpentier!!
"That didn't work Michael, you hit the wrong part of him my friend"
Last person in all F1, who says and does what he thinks even if it's sound harsh and inappropriate for others. Big respect!
Kimi was close.... if he was not!!!
I miss him..
6:35 Williams acutally started 1998 with a podium, Frentzen finished 3rd behind the McLarens.
Happy Birthday Jacques!
Joyeux anniversaire Jacques!
aah ive been waiting for this
Thanks for the Support
"That didn't work.. that didn't work, Michael.. You hit the wrong part of him, my friend" 🤣
I love the season finale of 1997, it shows that cheaters get what they deserve sometimes...
Happy 50th birthday World Champion ! You are always my number one !
Unfortunately, he didn't managed to win the 24h of Le Mans. That triple crown would suit this legendary driver
I think if now he was given a chance at a top team for Le Mans, he could do it, but time is quickly running out, I think he’s got another 5 years left. After 55 it would be iffy.
@@slowspecv69 He doesn't have time though. He's already too old
@@slowspecv69 imagine JV in a Ferrari at Le Mans. That would be brilliant
@@kai325d3 he’s still in great shape, so I think it’s possible.
@@slowspecv69 imagine with Ferrari next year!!!😮
happy 50th birthday jacques
