Jacques Villeneuve feels modern F1 drivers lack respect

Jacques Villeneuve believe modern Formula 1 drivers lack the on-track respect compared to the era in which his father, Gilles, raced.

Gilles Villeneuve competed in the series from 1977 to 1982 and was killed following an incident at the Belgian Grand Prix 25 years ago.

Villeneuve, who took the 1997 crown, feels the higher risk led to more respect on-track between racers while battling wheel-to-wheel and believes it is an aspect missing from the current grid.

“Because the cars were dangerous and it was difficult to overtake there was a lot more respect between drivers,” he said at the Autosport International Show, when talking about his father’s era in F1.

“You never saw drivers weave down a straight line. You never, ever saw that back then and you never saw a driver brake on the inside of the track.

“He would keep line, brake on outside and try and brake later than the other guy. It was clean and respectful.

“They banged into each other but they were mistakes. Whereas now, you see a video game, where drivers that think they are inside a video game and there’s no limit.

“There is no respect. What is respect? It's not even in their dictionary. For them, everything is fine because they can’t get hurt. They probably think they can press escape and reset while they are having their crash.”
