Villeneuve on Schumacher comments

Thursday June 11, 1998

Jacques Villeneuve was in Toronto on Tuesday to be honoured as the first inductee into the Canadian Walk of Fame, which will see a star with his name placed outside one of this city's theatres. The Walk of Fame honours great achievements by people in the arts, during the ceremony he was asked about his column in the Daily Telegraph in which he ripped into Michael Schumacher for his driving tactics:

"Michael goes out there believing that nothing can happen and he can no wrong. But he can do a lot of wrongs and until someone shows him (pause) really make him pay for a wrong, then he'll keep on doing it."

On whether there is a personal feud with Schumacher:

"There is no hatchet, there's just something happened and it annoyed me and in the end I just said it. I feel strongly about it so I just say it. I don't want to repeat it for a full month."
