Villeneuve is absolutely brutal to a current F1 driver: 'Go home'

Jacques Villeneuve does not understand why Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo is still racing in the premier class of motorsport. The good-humoured Australian has already faced a fair amount of criticism this season, and Villeneuve is not supporting the man from Perth either. The former Formula One driver openly wonders what Ricciardo is still doing at Visa Cash App Rb (VCARB).

"Why is he [Ricciardo] still in F1? We're hearing the same thing now for the last four or five years. ‘We have to make the car better for him for him’. Sorry. It's been five years of that No, you're in F1. Maybe you make that effort for Lewis Hamilton who has won multiple championships. You don't make that effort for a driver that can't cut it," Villeneuve told Sky Sports.

The Canadian was not yet outspoken about the VCARB driver. "If you can't cut it go home. There's someone else to take your place. That's what's always been in racing. It's the pinnacle of the sport. There's no reason to keep going and to keep finding excuses. His image has kept him in F1 more than his actual result," Villeneuve said.
