Jacques Villeneuve has harshly criticized McLaren, and not without reason. Ever since it was finally confirmed that the Papayas had lost the individual world championship title, they have declared that this was always secondary to them...
This is unprofessional to say the least, and at this level rather ridiculous, which Villeneuve could not leave uncommented:
"McLaren said something incredible after the Brazilian Grand Prix, because they started claiming that their priority was not the individual title, but the Constructors' title. And that it had always been that way... That's more than strange, because only stubborn losers say things like that, and that makes McLaren a loser. I admit there's money in the Constructors' title, but that's it; nobody cares who wins.
In the end, people will only remember who won the drivers' race, and in their eyes, the team that won the world championship also won the individual title. The constructors' victory is important for the industry and the purse, and it looks good on paper, but I'll say it again: nobody cares... It's a shame about that attitude, because they're having a great season, and forcing Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing to fight is already a huge success," Villeneuve said with his usual candor.
