Jacques Villeneuve

Jacques Joseph Charles Villeneuve is a Canadian racing driver, currently racing in Formula 1 CMP for the BAR team.

1999
Villeneuve joined BAR for the first season in the sport's history. He scored the team's first ever points at the Canadian Grand Prix that year, which remained his only points finish of the season, en route to 15th position in the World Drivers' Championship standings.

2000
Villeneuve remained at BAR for the 2000 season. This proved to be problematic as while he had the pace to score points or even podiums multiple times, he often hit trouble or would make mistakes. The former was especially the case during the Canadian Grand Prix, where he would lead for much of the race before eventually having to retire with an engine failure.

He eventually managed to score his first podium with a second place at the French Grand Prix, keeping up BAR's impressive season despite their main points scorer, Minuy600, leaving for the McLaren team after just 7 races. This proved to be only one of two points finishes for him that year however, and ended the season in a disappointing 14th place in the World Drivers' Championship.
