''' Jacques Joseph Charles Villeneuve''' ({{IPA|fr|ʒɑk vilnœv|lang}}; born 9 April 1971) is a Canadian former [[racing driver]] who competed in [[IndyCar]] from [[1994 PPG Indy Car World Series|1994]] to [[1995 PPG Indy Car World Series|1995]], and [[Formula One]] from {{F1|1996}} to {{F1|2006}}. Villeneuve won the [[Formula One World Drivers' Championship]] in {{F1|1997}} with [[Williams Racing|Williams]], and won 11 [[Formula One Grands Prix|Grands Prix]] across 11 seasons. In [[American open-wheel racing]], Villeneuve won the [[PPG Indy Car World Series|IndyCar World Series]] and the [[Indianapolis 500]] in [[1995 PPG Indy Car World Series|1995]] with [[Team Green]].

Born in [[Quebec]] and raised in [[Monaco]], Villeneuve is the son of Formula One driver [[Gilles Villeneuve]] and the nephew of racing driver [[Jacques Villeneuve (racing driver, born 1953)|Jacques-Joseph]]. Aged 17, he began racing under an [[Andorra]]n license in Italy, progressing to [[Italian Formula Three Championship|Italian Formula Three]] a year later. He then moved to the higher-tier [[Formula Atlantic|Toyota Atlantic Championship]], participating in one race during the [[1992 Atlantic Championship|1992 season]] and finishing third overall in the [[1993 Atlantic Championship|1993 championship]]. He began competing in Championship Auto Racing Teams with the [[Forsythe/Pettit Racing|Forsythe/Green Racing]] team in the [[1994 PPG Indy Car World Series|1994 season]], finishing sixth in the [[List of American open-wheel racing national champions|Drivers' Championship]] with one victory and earning [[List of American Championship Car Rookie of the Year Winners|Rookie of the Year]] and [[Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year]] honours. In the following year with the renamed [[Andretti Autosport|Team Green]], Villeneuve won four races (including the Indianapolis 500) and the Drivers' Championship.

Villeneuve moved to Williams in Formula One for the 1996 season, claiming four Grand Prix victories, and becoming the first rookie runner-up in the [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|World Drivers' Championship]] (WDC) after a season-long duel with teammate [[Damon Hill]]. His main title challenge for the following season came from [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]'s [[Michael Schumacher]], and Villeneuve beat the latter following a controversial collision at the season-ending {{F1GP|1997|European}}, becoming the first Canadian World Drivers' Champion, achieving seven Grand Prix victories. He finished fifth in the [[1998 Formula One World Championship|1998 season]] achieving two podiums and helped Williams finish third in the [[List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions|World Constructors' Championship]] behind Ferrari and [[McLaren]]. After an unsuccessful {{F1|1999}} with [[British American Racing]] (BAR), Villeneuve finished seventh in the WDC in both {{F1|2000}} and {{F1|2001}} with BAR, achieving two podiums in 2001, outscoring his teammates [[Ricardo Zonta]] and [[Olivier Panis]]. Villeneuve raced in Formula One from {{F1|2002}} to 2006, driving for BAR, [[Renault in Formula One|Renault]], [[Sauber Motorsport|Sauber]], and [[BMW in Formula One|BMW Sauber]], but he did not achieve any further success.

Villeneuve left Formula One mid-way through the 2006 season and began competing in various forms of motor racing such as [[sports car racing]], [[NASCAR]], and [[touring car racing]]. Though not as successful in these forms of racing, he won the [[2008 1000 km of Spa]] driving for [[Peugeot Sport|Peugeot]]. Villeneuve was appointed [[National Order of Quebec|Officer of the National Order of Quebec]] in 1998. He was voted the winner of both the [[Lou Marsh Trophy]] and the [[Lionel Conacher Award]] in each of 1995 and 1997. Villeneuve is an inductee of the [[Canadian Motor Sports Hall of Fame]], [[Canada's Sports Hall of Fame]], and the [[FIA Hall of Fame]].

==Early racing career==
Villeneuve's mother was aware from when he was five that he wanted to race,<ref name="JV2017Interview">{{cite journal|last=Cooper|first=Adam|date=November 2016|title=Lunch with Jacques Villeneuve|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/november-2016/80/lunch-jacques-villeneuve|volume=92|pages=81–88|journal=Motor Sport|number=11|access-date=9 June 2021|archive-date=8 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210608201506/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/november-2016/80/lunch-jacques-villeneuve|url-status=live}}</ref> and he went [[Kart racing|go-karting]] with his uncle several times in Canada.{{Sfn|Collings|1997|p=88–93}}  In May 1982, his father died in an accident with [[Jochen Mass]] during qualifying for the {{F1GP||1982 Belgian}} at [[Circuit Zolder]]. Jacques became less interested in motor racing after that, fearing the sport's dangers.<ref name="OCProfile1995" />{{Sfn|Collings|1997|p=22–26}} In 1984, he asked his mother if he could do motor racing like his father. Villeneuve's mother agreed to let him race on the condition he improved his academic performance in one of his weakest subjects, mathematics.{{sfn|Hilton|1996|p=27–32}} Though his mother preferred him to do a course in aerodynamic or mechanical engineering,{{Sfn|Collings|1997|p=88–93}} she did not discourage her son from pursuing racing.<ref name="OCProfile1995" /> In early September 1985, Villeneuve was invited by a SAGIS employee to race in 100 cc go-kart at Italy's [[Imola Circuit]]. He impressed the track owners so much that they let him test a 135 cc kart and then a [[Formula 4]] car.{{Sfn|Collings|1997|p=88–93}}{{sfn|Hilton|1996|p=27–32}} In July 1986, his uncle enrolled him in the [[Jim Russell (racing driver)|Jim Russell Racing Driver School]] in [[Mont Tremblant Resort|Mont Tremblant]],{{Efn|The school had been interested in Villeneuve since his father attended it in the early 1970s.

In mid-1987, Villeneuve left his family to attend the Spenard-David Racing School in [[Tyendinaga, Ontario|Shannonville, Ontario]] to hone his abilities under Richard Spenard.{{sfn|Collings|1997|p=98–142, 191–192}}<ref name=OCProfile1995/>{{Sfn|Sparling|1999|p=23–26}} Villeneuve did not have the money to pay for the course and his mother would not fund it because she thought Jacques finishing his education was more important. He worked in a mechanics' training programme allowing students to learn racing in return for garage painting.{{Sfn|Sparling|1999|p=23–26}}{{sfn|Collings|1997|p=98–142, 191–192}} Aged seventeen, Villeneuve was invited to make his car racing debut in the [[Italian Superturismo Championship|Italian Touring Car Championship]],<ref name="JV2017Interview" /> driving a Salerno Course-entered Group N [[Alfa Romeo 33]] car for three rounds of the 1988 season. The Canadian and Italian authorities would not grant him a licence since he was a year younger than their minimum age requirement, so he obtained an international racing licence in [[Andorra]] with [[Canadian Automobile Sport Clubs]] aid.{{efn|His nationality was occasionally presented as either Andorran or Canadian during this period.{{sfn|Hilton|1996|p=48}}}}{{sfn|Collings|1997|p=98–142, 191–192}} Villeneuve performed poorly in each of the three rounds.{{Sfn|Sparling|1999|p=23–26}}

[[File:1989 Reynard 893 Alfa Romeo (35264655075).jpg|thumb|left|The car Villeneuve drove in the 1989 Italian Formula 3 Championship]]

Villeneuve went on to sign a three-year contract to drive a [[Reynard Motorsport|Reynard]]-[[Alfa Romeo]] car for [[Prema Powerteam|Prema]] in the [[Italian Formula Three Championship]], a deal that was aided by the squad obtaining sponsorship from the [[Camel (cigarette)|Camel]] cigarette company.{{efn|Cigarette company [[Marlboro (cigarette)|Marlboro]] did not want to sponsor Villeneuve because their management did not want to exploit his name.{{sfn|Collings|1997|p=98–142, 191–192}}}} Initially struggling to drive a [[Formula 3]] car, he enrolled at the Magione Driving School. Under Henry Morrogh's direction, he gradually developed his character and driving technique. Villeneuve did not qualify five times, failed to finish three of the eleven races, and scored no points. In the 1990 season, he qualified for each of the twelve rounds and scored ten points for 14th in the Drivers' Championship.{{Efn|A victory for Villeneuve at the final round of the 1990 season at the [[ACI Vallelunga Circuit]] was disallowed when he was assessed a one-minute penalty for a jump start.<ref name=MMagBio/>}}{{sfn|Collings|1997|p=98–142, 191–192}} Villeneuve was considered a title favourite for the 1991 championship.

Dissatisfied with his management in 1991,<ref name="FPJun1995" /> Villeneuve asked former Beausoleil sports administrator and motor racing promoter [[Craig Pollock]] to take over his management three times.<ref name="OCProfile1995" />{{Sfn|Sparling|1999|p=23–26}}{{Sfn|Collings|1997|p=98–142, 191–192}} For the 1992 season, he wanted to compete in [[Formula 3000]] in Europe with [[Prema Racing|Prema]],{{sfn|Collings|1997|p=98–142, 191–192}} but did not have the funding to compete with the top teams.{{sfn|Villeneuve|Donaldson|1996|p=39–40}} Villeneuve accepted an offer to relocate to Japan and drive a Toyota 032F car for the [[TOM'S]] squad in the [[Japanese Formula 3 Championship]] in 1992 following advice from Tambay. He felt the Japanese series was almost as good as the Italian one, and he did not want to remain in Europe. Villeneuve was the only driver to receive works support from TOM'S, and he got driver training.

Villeneuve was joined by [[Olivier Panis]], and the [[BAR 003|003]] car he drove was approximately {{Convert|30|kg|lb|abbr=on}} lighter than the 002 chassis.{{Sfn|Camus|2007|pp=233–243}} Villeneuve was cordial with his teammate since they could talk to each other in French, and set himself the goal of winning a race and finishing third in the Drivers' Championship.

The [[BAR 004]] chassis proved to be more unreliable than the year before and slower due to an under-powered Honda engine. He scored four points for 12th in the Drivers' Championship with a fourth place at the {{F1GP|2002|British}} being his season's best result.{{Sfn|Domenjoz|2002|pp=30–31, 50–51, 148, 218}} Villeneuve regretted remaining at BAR due to the lack of results,<ref>{{Cite news|date=18 April 2002|title=Villeneuve fed up, may leave BAR|publisher=[[CBC News]]|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/villeneuve-fed-up-may-leave-bar-1.313189|access-date=5 June 2021|archive-date=25 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210625054017/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/villeneuve-fed-up-may-leave-bar-1.313189|url-status=live}}</ref> and he was offered a contract to join Team Player's in CART for the [[2003 CART season|2003 championship]] before returning to BAR for the [[2004 Formula One World Championship|2004]] and [[2005 Formula One World Championship|2005 F1 seasons]].

Villeneuve decided to remain at BAR for the [[2003 Formula One World Championship|2003 season]], and was partnered with Button. Villeneuve's [[BAR 005]] car had a more powerful but bulky Honda engine.{{Sfn|Camus|2007|pp=233–243}}{{Sfn|Domenjoz|2003|pp=36–37, 51, 215, 218}} He initially had a poor relationship with Button, not speaking to him and saying that Button "should be in a boy band".{{sfn|Button|2017|pp=165–168}} Their relationship did not improve after the season-opening {{F1GP|2003|Australian}} when Villeneuve was due to make a pit stop but drove an additional lap when Button was due to make his, leaving Button stationary behind Villeneuve. Although he blamed it on "radio problems", Button and Richards hinted their disbelief in his execution.{{Sfn|Domenjoz|2003|pp=36–37, 51, 215, 218}} Villeneuve was outperformed by his teammate and retired eight times due to mechanical faults. He finished sixth at both the {{F1GP|2003|Brazilian}} and the {{F1GP|2003|Italian}}. Before the season-ending {{F1GP|2003|Japanese}}, Villeneuve was informed by Richards he was no longer needed. He was replaced by test driver [[Takuma Sato]].{{Sfn|Camus|2007|pp=233–243}}{{Sfn|Domenjoz|2003|pp=36–37, 51, 215, 218}} He was 16th in the Drivers' Championship with 6 points.{{Sfn|Domenjoz|2003|pp=36–37, 51, 215, 218}}

[[File:Jacques Villeneuve Canada 2006.jpg|thumb|Villeneuve racing at the {{F1GP||2006 Canadian}} for the [[BMW in Formula One|BMW Sauber]]]]

Before his tenure at Sauber began, Villeneuve was employed by Briatore to help Renault claim second from BAR in the [[List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions|World Constructors' Championship]] by scoring the maximum number of points in the 2004 season's final three races following the dismissal of [[Jarno Trulli]] for performing poorly.{{Sfn|Camus|2007|pp=245–248}}{{Sfn|Domenjoz|2004|pp=28–29, 50–51, 192, 218}} Sauber was comfortable in letting Villeneuve drive for Renault because both teams used [[Michelin]] tyres.<ref name="F1R2014Interview">{{cite journal|last=Hamilton|first=Maurice|date=November 2014|title=The Maurice Hamilton Interview: Jacques Villeneuve|journal=F1 Racing|edition=United Kingdom|issue=225|pages=92–99}}</ref> Driving the [[Renault R24|R24]] car, he finished all three events but under-performed and was lapped each time.

At Sauber, Villeneuve used a [[Sauber C24|C24]] chassis and was teammates with [[Felipe Massa]]. A lack of both pre-season testing and money for car development caused Villeneuve to have a difficult handling car.{{Sfn|Camus|2007|pp=249–250}} He did not have a good relationship with the team because he was not allowed to give feedback on car setup due to [[Willy Rampf]]'s influence.<ref name="F1R2014Interview" /><ref name="JV2017Interview" /> Villeneuve finished a season-high fourth at the {{F1GP|2005|San Marino}} and scored more points in eighth at the {{F1GP|2005|French}} and sixth at the {{F1GP|2005|Belgian}}.{{efn|Poor performances in the season's first three races meant [[Peter Sauber]] did not guarantee that Villeneuve would continue at Sauber past the {{F1GP|2005|San Marino}} until his fourth-place result allowed him to retain his seat for the remainder of the season.{{sfn|Jones|2006|p=39}}}}{{Sfn|Camus|2007|pp=249–250}} He was 14th in the Drivers' Championship with 9 points.{{Sfn|Collings|Edworthy|2011|pp=268–277, 316, 320}}{{Sfn|Camus|2007|pp=249–250}}

For the [[2006 Formula One World Championship|2006 championship]], Villeneuve stayed at the renamed BMW Sauber after [[BMW in Formula One|BMW]] purchased the team. [[Nick Heidfeld]] was his teammate. The atmosphere within the team made Villeneuve content, and he was happy with BMW's involvement. He found the less electronically dependent and less refined aerodynamically [[BMW Sauber F1.06|F1.06]] car more driveable. Team principal [[Mario Theissen]] criticised Villeneuve for not achieving decent results, thus failing to please BMW's board of directors.{{Sfn|Camus|2007|pp=254–256, 261–268}} Despite retiring three times, he accumulated seven points from the first eleven races, ranking him fifteenth in the Drivers' Championship.<ref name="MMagBio" />{{Sfn|Camus|2007|pp=254–256, 261–268}} At the {{F1GP|2006|German}}, Villeneuve sustained muscle pains in an accident exiting a corner.

=== Driving ability and racing helmet ===
[[File:Jacques Villeneuve helmet 2017 Williams Conference Centre.jpg|thumb|upright|Villeneuve's racing helmet on display at the Williams Conference Centre in 2017]]

Journalist [[Mark Hughes (journalist)|Mark Hughes]] describes Villeneuve's driving as "spectacular" and "hard-charging". Villeneuve frequently went past the edge of the available track to increase his momentum as much as possible.{{Sfn|Sturm|Booth|Thorpe|2007|p=206}} He provided his engineers with suggestions that Maurice Hamilton wrote were "so far from the norm to the point of diametrically opposed to standard practice, sometimes giving the impression of being pursued just for the hell of it."{{sfn|Hamilton|2020|p=187}} Villeneuve prefers driving on [[slick tyres]] and with no electronic [[driver aids]]. He found driver aids difficult and thus ran with less [[Traction control system|traction control]] than his teammates since he could not deal with either the [[anti-lock system]] on the rear brakes or heavy traction control.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Fogarty|first=Mark|date=11 October 2010|title=Cross Roads|pages=17–19|work=Auto Action|issue=1416}}</ref> This required Villeneuve to modify his driving style and take fewer risks until his exit from F1 in 2006.{{Sfn|Sturm|Booth|Thorpe|2007|p=206}} He switched from wearing spectacles in his helmet to contact lenses in 1994 after his spectacles vibrated slightly on minor bumps in Indianapolis.<ref name="MMagHelmet" />

Villeneuve based the design of his [[racing helmet]] on his father's, reportedly drawing it on a doodling pad.<ref name="CrashHelmet">{{Cite web|last=Saunders|first=Will|date=7 April 2015|title=Six of the Best: Helmet designs|url=https://www.crash.net/f1/feature/217258/1/six-of-the-best-helmet-designs|url-status=live|access-date=8 June 2021|publisher=Crash|archive-date=8 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210608060557/https://www.crash.net/f1/feature/217258/1/six-of-the-best-helmet-designs}}</ref> He looked at a photograph of his mother wearing a pink, yellow, green and blue V-shaped striped polo shirt at a motor race her husband was competing at, and he used her pencils to produce the design.<ref name="MMagHelmet" /><ref name="CrashHelmet" /> Villeneuve incorporated an inverted V-style swoosh with varying thickness of colours around the shape on the helmet's two sides.<ref name="CrashHelmet" /> He retained a single black line from his first design in the centre to divide the colours without difficulty.{{efn|He previously wore a helmet in the colours of his sponsor Player's.<ref name=MMagHelmet/>}}<ref name="MMagHelmet">{{Cite web|last=Elson|first=James|date=21 December 2020|title=Jacques Villeneuve: 'I watched my father Gilles draw his helmet design in our motorhome'|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/single-seaters/jacques-villeneuve-i-watched-my-father-gilles-draw-his-helmet-design-in-our-motorhome|url-status=live|access-date=7 June 2021|website=Motor Sport|archive-date=28 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128024910/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/single-seaters/jacques-villeneuve-i-watched-my-father-gilles-draw-his-helmet-design-in-our-motorhome}}</ref>
