One of the stories at tsn.ca today is about Jacques Villeneuve leaving the Formula 1 circuit. In the article, DNF talks about not having to prove anything to anyone. He speaks of his track record, which includes a F1 championship nearly a decade ago. Interestingly, Villeneuve's championship win in 1997 was also the year he last won a race, and I'm not convinced it's not the last time he even finished a race. The guy redefines hack almost every time he gets behind the wheel. He says NASCAR may be his next stop, which should be a little easier for him since he'll only have to turn one way.
The guy is dragging F1, his father, and the music business down. This corner is, frankly, happy to see DNF leave.

Jacques is not dragging F1 down. It's the most popular sport in the world. Also....I would say that 40-50% of all racers in F1 do not finish most races. I'm not even sure why you care whether Jacques races or not because it doesn't seem like you even watch F1 racing. As for bringing his father down? Whatever. Jacques has two major racing championships under his belt. He could race shirtless while eating pizza for the rest of his career if he wanted. He may actually be doing that now. He's a world champion, he's set for life and he has hot women around him. I think he's done fairly well for himself.
I like the blog.
