Jacques Villenueve throws a broadside at Franco Colapinto and the new rookies

During an interview given to the microphones of "Action Network", Jacques Villeneuve, among other topics covered, did not go subtle in analyzing the rejection of Franco Colapinto, who did not è manage to find a seat in F1 for next season. In addition, the former Canadian driver also è dwelt on the rookies who will make their debut in 2025, Antonelli and Bortoleto above all.

Franco has squandered his chances. If you are given a golden opportunity, you have to make the most of it. Now he canò not lay down on himself. He ran a few races in F1 and it&#39s already amazing that he got this opportunity. He's a fast driver, but he showed that he did not evaluate his situation well" began the 1997 world champion.

"I do not know what to expect from Bortoleto. It's useless to expect anything until they get into F1, but now they get there with very little experience. It's very difficult to understand how they can get to the top level so quickly in the world&#39s most important sport,&#39quot; added the former Canadian driver.

"These guys do a lot of work in the simulator, but once on the track watch what happens, they pay for the lack of experience as we also saw with Kimi Antonelli in Monza" commented Jacques Villeneuve.
