Villeneuve “positive on capabilities” from Lance Stroll

Jacques Villeneuve is often asked to comment on the arrival of his compatriot Lance stroll en F1. The son of billionaire Lawrence Stroll will be the first Canadian to line up on the Grand Prix grids since the 199th world champion retired in 2006.

“He will clearly have to prove himself, even more than the others, and he knows it well, commented Jacques Villeneuve, cited by Sky Sports. It’s simply the result of a general attitude that thinks you can’t have talent if you have money, which is not true. The two are not related. Money gives you the opportunity, but what happens next is up to you. »

The 2016 season in any case seems to support the comments of the Canal+ commentator since Lance Stroll dominated the F3 European Championship like no other driver before him by winning almost half of the races of the season.

“You have the best chances when you arrive with money. It's a good thing because it allows you not to burn your wings, but on the other hand you don't suffer as much in certain situations and you have to learn more things in F1 than in other disciplines., warned Jacques Villeneuve.

“In any case, he is very talented and he impressed me with his attitude when I met him on the circuits. He seems to have the right mentality to succeed and I am positive about his abilities”, summarized the Canadian.
