Jacques Villeneuve is in doubt over driver Kimi Raikkonen
Jacques Villeneuve has said that he thinks Finnish racing driver Kimi Raikkonen is "overrated" and doubts he is up to the standard to replace Michael Schumacher.
Born in Espoo, Finland, Kimi Raikkonen is a Formula One racing car driver for Scuderia Ferrari who finished runner-up in the Formula One World Drivers' Championship in both 2003 and 2005, however, former world champion driver Jacques Villeneuve says the Finn lacks the all-round ability needed for the job.
Jacques Villeneuve explained to F1 magazine that he feels the job of team leader at Ferrari will go to Brazilian driver Felipe Massa, and of Kimi Raikkonen he said:
"Kimi's overrated as a driver package, because apart from jumping in a car and going fast, he really doesn't care about the rest."
Canadian Jacques Villeneuve had partnered Felipe Massa at Sauber in 2005 and became a fan of his skills as a Formula One racing driver.
"If there are no fireworks with Raikkonen and Ferrari then it'll be fine, but only if Felipe manages to drive the team," Jacques Villeneuve said.
