Peace, love and sour grapes…

Former F1 world champion, Jacques Villeneuve, has complained at the lack of ‘warriors’ on the grid and that apparently there appears to be a lack of hate.

According to Germany’s ‘Sports Bild’ Villenueve said; “”I realised it last year, when Massa… was fighting Hamilton for the title that you didn’t get the impression that these guys wanted to win so badly that they actually hated each other”

So much for all that peace, love and understanding he warbled about on his last album. Villeneuve also revealed that while he is (almost) pleased at former team mate Jenson Button’s current success, he still manages to find a downside in the Brawn team that has its origins in the British American Racing (BAR) squad he was a founder member of.

“I’m happy for Jenson but I also see the team as a negative part of my past, a lot of my own money is still there as my manager Craig Pollock set up that team with some of my money as well”.

During his five years at BAR, Jacques was, after Michael Schumacher, the best paid driver in F1, in 2002 alone he trousered an estimated $21 million.

Difficult to feel sorry for him really….
