Read our privacy policy Jacques Villeneuve brutally analysed Daniel Ricciardo’s career at the Canadian Grand Prix on Friday, insisting the Australian’s “image” has kept him in Formula 1. After being dropped by McLaren in 2022 and failing to hit the heights of his time at Red Bull earlier in his career, Ricciardo found a way back into the sport last year with Red Bull’s sister team – yet Villeneuve remains unimpressed with the popular Aussie and did not hold back on his opinion. Jacques Villeneuve has criticised Daniel Ricciardo’s F1 career “That’s how it’s always been in racing. He stopped beating anyone after that.” Asked if Ricciardo has been overrated, Villeneuve replied: “I think his image has kept him in F1 more than his actual results.” Ricciardo secured his first of nine wins in Formula 1 in Montreal 10 years ago, but his seat for 2025 is unconfirmed at this stage.
