First round
On the weekend of the Canadian Grand Prix he saw himself again in the paddock Jacques Villeneuvein the role of television commentator and, with his rough and direct style, expressed his thoughts on Daniel Ricciardo: “Why is he still in F1? We’ve been hearing the same thing for four or five years, ‘We have to improve the car for him’“, then suggesting that the Australian is a driver overrated by most and that he was still in Formula 1 more “for its image than for the results”.
Second round
After qualifying in fifth place, Daniel Ricciardo then responded in kind to Villeneuve: “I heard he said some shit, but he always does it. I think he hit his head a few too many times, so I don’t know if he plays ice hockey or what. He can go fuck himself***.
The Australian then finished the race in eighth place, interrupting an eleven-race drought.
Third round
However, Villeneuve did not let her take the lead and scolded Ricciardo again at the end of the GP: “He took it a little personally, but he must understand that he is a model. We are at the highest level of motorsport, all 20 drivers they must be responsible and professional in their responses. Kids listen to you, you can’t take it personally. I’m glad I learned that I hurt myself a lot playing hockey. Receiving criticism is natural and you need to let it slide. I scored because he improved his level.”
