Jacques Villeneuve accuses Formula One driver Michael Schumacher of dirty tricks and lies
Formula One ex-champion Jacques Villeneuve has accused Michael Schumacher of an ongoing list of dirty tricks and outright lies, both to fans and fellow racing drivers, in a very scathing personal attack.
"He lies not only to fans but to his fellow drivers, too," said Jacques Villeneuve.
Canadian Jacques Villeneuve said Michael Schumacher would "never" attain the hero status of other truly great drivers such as Ayrton Senna and said he thought he was "bigger than the sport".
"Michael isn't a great champion because he's played too many dirty tricks and isn't a great human being," Jacques Villeneuve said.
Jacques Villeneuve claimed Michael Schumacher would be swiftly forgotten about after he retired.
Jacques Villeneuve has had a bad relationship with Michael Schumacher ever since the German deliberately tried to drive his rival off the track while the two drivers were disputing the world championship in 1997.
That collision, in which Michael Schumacher came of the worse, was just one a series of incidents Jacques Villeneuve picked out as examples of the seven-time champion's lack of "class" and "integrity".
Jacques Villeneve said Michael Schumacher showed his true character in the controversial incident in qualifying at Monaco this year, when Schumacher had deliberately parked his car to stop his opponent Fernando Alonso beating his qualifying time.
