Jacques Villeneuve has McLaren-t brutális kritikával illette, és nem est minden alap nelkül. Mióta végérvényesen eldőlt, hogy a papayák lecsúsztak az egyéni világbajnoki címről, azóta azt nyilatkozgatják, hogy az mindig is csak másodlagos volt nekik…
This is, to put it mildly, unprofessional, and at this level, rather ridiculous, something Villeneuve could not remain silent about:
“McLaren said something incredible after the Brazilian Grand Prix, because they started talking about how their priority wasn't the individual title, but the constructors' title. And that it's always been like that… It's more than strange, because only convinced losers say that, and apparently, McLaren is a loser. I admit there's money in the constructors' title, but in reality, that's it, nobody cares who wins.
"In the end, people will only remember who won the drivers' race, and in their eyes, the team title was also won by the one who won the individual race. The constructors' victory is about craftsmanship and wallets, it looks great on paper, but I repeat: nobody cares... It's a shame about this attitude, because they're having a great season, and it's already a great achievement to have forced Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing to fight," Villeneuve said with his trademark candor.
