Jacques Villeneuve Car Quotations

That was a pretty bad lap, ... The car was just sliding around all over the place.

My goal is not to be a race-car driver. The reason I'm racing is because I enjoy being in the car and being on the edge.

Winning the Indy 500 in 1995 and the Formula 1 championship in 1997 are very special moments for me, and the people in NASCAR show me respect for what I've achieved so far in my career.

Starting from 19th place with a full tank and finishing sixth is obviously a lot better than I expected, so it was a very good race for me. The only problem I had was warming up the tires after the numerous safety car phases. We have to have a look at this to improve the situation but otherwise our pace was good.

I don't think that American drivers going to NASCAR are taking the easy way out because as I said, the racing is amazing; it's just that it's easier to adapt to what you grow up with. American drivers grow up with NASCAR, they know NASCAR, and that's where they want to go.

I'm a racer at heart more than anything else, and that will always be my priority: competing. But ultimately, if you can't drive, you can still have the competitive spirit outside of a car.

The problem is if you spend too many years in a car that can't win, the day you're in one that can, you're not used to it, so it will have an effect.

Both Indy Car and Formula 1 work in the same way, although there is a greater emphasis on development and technology in Formula 1.

The feeling I got from rallycross was a little bit more of the NASCAR aspect of it; it's a family of races where racing is a passion, and it's not the politics that come with it.

The fans come. They don't care about the third drivers.

Ask me about the challenge of becoming as good at music as I am at motorsport, and I have to say: my career has been racing, and I don't plan on music becoming my next career.
