Jacques VILLENEUVE changed his OPINION on Lance STROLL

The former world champion, who is famous for his sharp tongue, has been attacking his young compatriot ever since Stroll was in F1, but after the race in Istanbul he admits that he was wrong anyway.

Jacques Villeneuve he has really taken every opportunity so far to criticize the mistakes to the maximum Lance Stroll. A few weeks ago when Stroll due to nausea (which later turned out to be coronavirus infection) missed the race on Nürburgring, Yippee Villeneuve, even before it turned out to be a covid-19, the Seventh Force said of its compatriot: "If you really want to establish yourself in Formula 1, you will always drive, no matter how you feel."

His verbal attacks they were regular and uncompromising. Villeneuve accused Stroll of coming to Williams too young and only for money in F1, then stated that he Felipe Massa overcomes, despite driving at practically half the power, because he intends to retire anyway, and in addition, 1997 World Champion said Stroll “The worst rookie in F1 he’s ever had a chance to see” and that his third place in Azerbaijan in 2017 due to pure happiness.

Jacques Villeneuve changed the rhetoric to his compatriot after Lance Stroll’s pole position (at least temporarily).

But everything has obviously changed since the past GP of Turkey, when it's Villeneuve came in a completely different tone and said: “Lance drove an outstanding lap in qualifying in Istanbul and earned a pole position. Unlike other drivers, it didn’t make any mistakes. I don't know what I could point out as bad. "

“It had nothing to do with happiness. It was pure ability. Other drivers used the same tire strategy as the Lance, but none drove as flawlessly. I notice that Stroll is especially good in difficult situations. Let’s remember Monza in 2017, when he was fourth in qualifying in a really desperate situation. He was also third in the chaos of Baku 2017, after other drivers crashed left and right. He obviously feels very comfortable in the most difficult situations, ” he praised his compatriot Villeneuve.

He's at a race in Istanbul Stroll at first he was a sovereign leader, but after a stop in the pits he started to decline, and he also had problems with tires. During a routine inspection of his car RP20 after the race, they discovered that one of them had separated routers on the underside front wing and, to Stroll's misfortune, got stuck in an awkward spot. This disrupted airflow and a significant loss of vacuum on the front axle, the team said Racing Point.
