JACQUES VILLENEUVE
Jacques Joseph Charles Villeneuve (born April 9, 1971 in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec) is a Canadian automobile racing driver, he is the son of Formula One driver Gilles Villeneuve. Jacques Villeneuve is notable for winning the 1995 CART Championship, the 1995 Indianapolis 500 and the 1997 Formula One Championship. Alongside Mario Andretti and Emerson Fittipaldi, the Canadian is one of the rare drivers to achieve all three.
Following two successful years in CART, Villeneuve moved into Formula One with the front running Williams team, alongside Damon Hill. In his debut season, Villeneuve challenged Hill for the title, winning four races and taking the fight to the final round in Japan. But the Canadian retired and Hill won the title. Villeneuve, however, did win the following year's title, this time challenging Michael Schumacher and once again taking it to the final round in Jerez. In the race, the two collided, resulting in Schumacher's retirement and subsequent disqualification from the 1997 World Championship, with Villeneuve going on to take third place, and the title.
1997 would be the last year in which Villeneuve would finish in the top three of the Drivers' Championship, as Renault had pulled out of Formula One in 1998 and Villeneuve's Williams team were left with the less competitive Mecachrome engines. Villeneuve moved to the newly formed British American Racing team in 1999 and stayed there for the next four seasons but, following poor results he was replaced by former British Formula Three Champion Takuma Sato. After a short run with Renault at the end of 2004, Villeneuve moved to the Sauber team for the 2005 season where he was outscored by his less experienced teammate Felipe Massa. The Sauber team were bought out by BMW for the following season and Villeneuve struggled to score points, taking seven points from eleven rounds before suffering an injury in Germany. The Canadian was replaced by Robert Kubica and soon BMW and Villeneuve parted company.
Outside of Formula One, Villeneuve has taken on two new careers: in sportscar racing, racing for Peugeot in the 2007 24 Hours of Le Mans and jumping to NASCAR in August 2007, and in music, so far releasing one album titled "Private Paradise".
Jacques Villeneuve was born in the Canadian city of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu to then soon to be Formula One driver Gilles and his wife Joann Villeneuve on April 9, 1971. Although Villeneuve was born in Canada, he was in fact raised in Monaco.[1] Jacques also has two sisters: Melanie and Jessica Villeneuve, the latter being a half sister. As well as his father, Jacques' uncle, Jacques Sr., was a racing driver - although Jacques Sr. didn't achieve the same level of success in Formula One as his brother Gilles did, the Canadian did however become the first driver to win a CART race in the sport's history in 1984 at Road America. When Villeneuve was eleven years old, his father was killed during the qualifying session for the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix at Zolder following a collision with Jochen Mass.
