“I'm competitive, but that doesn't stop me from being realistic.” — Jacques Villeneuve Quote

“I'm competitive, but that doesn't stop me from being realistic.”

“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.”

“F1 is giving penalties for people making mistakes instead of for people driving dirty. And that is wrong. Mistakes happen. You run into each other: that's life, that's racing, and too bad.”

“The genuine truth, and I do think about this a lot, is that I'm one of the least competitive people you'll ever meet. Except with myself.”

“It's a very competitive thing, pro sports. The hardest thing in pro sports is staying up there.”

“I do genuinely believe that young people who play sport at a competitive level, sensibly controlled, sensibly organised, that has to be a good thing. It will teach them to win, it will teach them to lose with dignity and magnanimity - all the things you want. It's a pretty good metaphor for life.”
