Daniel Ricciardo Savage Response to Jacques Villeneuve and told him to "Eat SH*T"! Even Fred agree.

Daniel Ricciardo dismissed Jacques Villeneuve’s biting criticism during Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix as the 1997 world champion “talking s**t”, and said “all those people can suck it” after qualifying fifth in Montreal.
Even Ferrari Race Manager, Fred Vasseur agree that Villeneuve is sometimes wrong!

When Schumacher had his ski accident, most of competitors and personalities from racing and outside racing showed their compassion. I don't exactly remember how he formulated it, but JV said something like "Anyways he liked to live on the edge" (referring to the fact MS crashed in a place that was outside the skiable slope). It's not about stating the obvious, it's about showing humanity, compassion, and let go of the past. JV was never able to do so. He is full of resentment. He created this little angry persona that needs to bring down others to survive. Maybe because he lived in the shadow of a dad that was 20x more loved and popular than him, maybe because he keeps blaming himself for all the bad decisions he took with his career, or simply because he lost confidence after his bad hair plug job that would make Massa's a successful one. JV became this massive douche of a person that respects nobody (including his F1 commentating colleague at Canal Plus) and will always be remembered as this male version of a Karen that needs to spit in the face of drivers to stay relevant in this world.

@@Chris-sf2cpThey clearly know more than RBR mate, who have faith in DR and keep him on the roster…

@@drmaulana2600 you clearly dumb or you have absolutely zero knowledge of the sport or history of Riccardo. What Jacques said is complete garbage and false

[@peterianstaker5386]

I’m a big fan of Danny Ricciardo but you kind of got to agree with some of what he says. Are we all being fooled by the lovable rouge or is it just bad career choices? Personally I think it’s bad career choices but I won’t dismiss that we’ve all been fooled out of hand.

[@ChasingChampionships]

Yeah the guy that had 2 good years in f1 then shit the bed for 9 years after that is saying this 🙄

[@CraigYKT17]

Villeneuve had an opinion and evidence to back his opinion Daniel didn't have an answer and decided to just say eat shit Tells you everything

[@raimo7310]

Tell me when Villeneuve said One single lie. What he said Is objective Truth. The only reason Ricciardo still has a sit in F1 Is because of his smile. That's it

[@dwilliams6346]

Villeneuve despite being retired is still part of the f1 drivers circle, therefore he should at least respect his colleague and refrain from insulting and embarrassing Daniel on live TV. It's undignified and crude. Vasseur deservedly shut him up before he could go full Eddie Jordan.

[@celsocarvalho1113]

Does Jr has a mirror at home?

[@jimbooo1365]

Jaques barely won the championship in a car that Mazepin could have won a title in. That williams was amazing. He almost got beaten by Michael which was in a sub standard ferrari at the time. After that, villeneuve went to BAR and they built the team around him. And yeah... lets not throw stones in a glass house.

[@drmaulana2600]

Oh buddy same Jacques that almost beating Hill in his first year? Ik he's later stint were shit, but that also applied to Ric, oh and that year Ferrari is nowhere near "subpar",

[@proro1974]

Jacques really should have let this one pass cuz honestly all it did was highlight his own career. His first 2 yrs in F1 were amazing mostly (he really ought not to have given Mikey a sniff of the championship) but after that pure trash. nearly a decade of being a mobile chicane.

[@michalbenyskiewicz9447]

Yeah... Ricky Bobby needs to go. JV is absolutely right and brave to say that. There are more exciting drivers waiting for their chance. Although we probably won't see Jacques around again 😂

[@jahshjahsh2002]

The internet is weird. Ric was a clown for decades and yet he has an army on the internet. Ocon was a hero for decades and yet the whole world hates him.

[@SS454LS6]

Except JV is mostly right. If Daniel wasn't such a likeable guy with a big smile he'd be long gone.

[@banditalley9592]

This is projection at its worst. Villeneuve is describing himself - he started well at Williams and was in the best car to win the title, then he did nothing and became an also-ran who should have quit.

[@welern2liv815]

Takes one to know one

[@daviddanser8011]

Ofcourse Villeneuve is right in some way, but i really don’t think Ricciardo is doing this badly this season. Had some bad luck and had at least 2-3 really good races.

[@jamesbutcher2729]

as i have said before--Jacque knows a thing or two about underperforming jmo

[@losarmanos7565]

He isn't wrong, but the way he says it is just not right. Ricciardo is an excellent driver with good races behind his name and indeed is the funny and big smile guy of the grid. His image is also important in this sport, the only thing Ric misses is consistancy overall. He just needs to adapt quicker to the car's behaviour per circuit. Seeing the talent RB has (Lawson), I won't be suprissed next year it'll be his seat and that's no shame for Ric! He tried, but sometimes it isn't enough. Not a Villaneuve fan at all btw...

[@TheJcman72]

We have to agree with what Villeneuve said. Although Ricciardo has that very nice image, his results have been far worse than those of many that didn't get a second chance. Now if that's what Red Bull needs, why not, but I'm convinced that Lawson would do better.

[@666Buzzsaw]

You don’t understand F1 at all. Lawson doesn’t bring any money with him. And bringing money with you has ALWAYS been a part of being in F1. And he’s still unproven, a couple of races doesn’t mean he’ll fair any better than anyone else already on the grid.

[@stagumphs]

He's still shit though. Agree with Villeneuve

[@Fiasco3]

Did him a favor. Told him the truth. It's in Ricciardo's hands now to prove him wrong. The other commentators are pussies they keep playing the sycophantic fame game instead of helping him as a driver. It's the overdue wake-up call he needed to hear.

[@mattrc77]

yeah but we all know Lawson would destroy Ric at this point so yeah.

[@666Buzzsaw]

No we don’t, he’s unproven. A couple of races doesn’t mean he’ll fair any better than anyone else already on the grid and he needs to bring money with him if he ever wants to get a seat anywhere and currently he doesn’t bring any.

[@Johndct1]

I’m Canadian and cheered for both Jacques Villeneuve and his dad before that. Yet I think Jacques should think a bit about his own shortcomings in F1 before talking about DR in that manner. Yes he did win a Championship but after that he was really disappointing. I remember thinking that he had lost his nerves. If I remember correctly, a lot of people thought the same way. He just didn’t seem to have what it takes to push to the limit anymore. That being said, I tip my hat to all F1 drivers without exception, from champions to the last on the list. To make it to F1, even if it’s only for one race , takes an incredible amount of talent, courage and dedication.

[@Grammarlings-cf8yw]

yeah so how does that change what he said about Ricciardo?

[@jakubkrcma]

❤

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

JFV speaks the truth.

[@UmbertoDavidPanda]

yea...no. still needs replacing

[@johncenter4858]

Yeah! But he's right Ricciardo.

[@jivantakirstenpillay6128]

Watched the whole weekend of F1 and only realised now that was Jacques Villeneuve, LOL. Some truths to what he said though. But also, there are worse drivers in F1 so why target Daniel.

[@jacksonrodrigues7533]

Ric need to watch what he says. You all know what happened last time after Miami sprint. He got cocky and then slumped again. The dude just can’t take the critiques on the chin

[@666Buzzsaw]

You need to understand that what he said is not a big deal in Australia. It’s a throw away comment that’s pretty common in Australian vernacular. The only people making a big deal out of it are the morons.

[@grzegorzmucha4120]

The only driver in the field whose main goal is to constantly dry his teeth.

[@Pjb93]

OK, but what did Villeneuve say that wasn't true?
