i think now his career has wound down and motorsports knowledge is spreading more across disciplines he is recognized as one of the few indy champs , f1 champs and indy 500 winners . which is an increadible feat . the latter years of f1 really tainted him as lots of people are so f1 centric , but over time they are being forgotten and his achievements noted.
Jacques was great in Toyota Atlantic, CART and then F1. Of course I followed his career in North America. It's a shame he did not stay but he had some rather heavy unfinished business to take care of in Formula One. This truly was a high water mark for open wheel in America.
Racing for team Penske does that. It’s a well known that Penske never have a slow car. If anything it’s the fastest and best prepared car in the field...
Goodyear screwed himself out of that 500. The pace car was slow all race long and Goodyear should have anticipated that. Actually, the reason he was even in the lead was because Pruett did the same mistake on the penultimate restart.
Yeah, as an American I'm bothered by that fact. Especially with a commentator like Paul Page. At least Ken Squire (CBS F1 coverage 1979-1985) made more of an effort when he mentioned Gilles.
Legend. F1 and Cart World Champion. Indy 500 winner. Class.
Villenuve one of the BEST!!!!
#12 and #27......Gilles' numbers!
Never given enough credit IMO, 5 time winner in Indy including 1 championship and 1 Indy 500 in only 2 seasons.

Only.3 drivers won both f1 & f. Indy: E. Fittipaldi, Andretti sen., J Villeneuve ..& Mansell (thx to Canice Tang)
@@ORMA1 Don't forget Nigel Mansell. He won it back-to-back. 1992 in F1 and 1993 for IndyCar (as a 'Rookie').
Who isn’t giving him enough credit??
@@apexkilla The people who think F1 is the only Motorsport that matters and everything else is below it
Legend. World Champion in F1,Kart,and Indy 500 Winner. Im a Brit and live Indy Racing.
These were great times
Great Series.
Fantastc sorpasso villeneuve ❤❤❤❤

jz13 yo i wasnt saying it like that i just meant i get the joke but its bad
He was a great driver
These were great years of Indy car. I always thought JV should have gone back to Indy cars after he was loyal to the BAR team in F1
Indycar suited his style and attitude more, you could be a more aggressive driver and be a more authentic person rather than an automaton.
I wish he raced the 24 hours of le mans
he did , 2nd in 2008

Such a badass! One of the greatest ever.
1:41 Jacques Villeneuve may have won the Road America race but little al has won the season long PPG trophy points race
shame Al Jnr never went to f1 . in his day he was equal to the best in the world. personal issues cost him a lot later on in his career

Annihilation Maximization during this area in f1 the divers are legends today. Michael Schumacher,Mika Halkkien,daemon hill etc
As much as I love JV, Scott Goodyear got screwed TWICW by the judges, Politics, the Devil???

Marboro vs Players cigarett war
Anyone , that last race was where, airplane airport?
Burke Lakefront Airport - Cleveland
Airport tracks are great! Edmonton, Canada hosted some epic IndyCar races.
These cars can't handle corners
or as the commentators like to call him, "Zhock Villnoof"
Jacques Villeneuve is too complicated for Americans to say so they mispronounce it...
Yeah, as an American I'm bothered by that fact. Especially with a commentator like Paul Page.
