JV's eyes slow him down?

Jacques Villeneuve has played down suggestions that deteriorating eyesight is slowing him down in formula one. Like a few other drivers, the 34-year-old Canadian wears contact lenses while at the wheel of his grand prix racer. But, unlike Ralf Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello, the French Canadian - who may stay at Hinwil (Sauber) next year to drive for BMW - is seldom seem anywhere in the paddock without a pair of glasses. It has led to speculation that JV has the worst eyesight in formula one. Moreover, it is understood that contact lenses do not restore his vision to '20-20'. ''If my eyesight was bad,'' Jacques told F1 Racing magazine, ''then I would have hit a guardrail at Monaco. Well, I was very quick at Monaco.'' Villeneuve reckons some other drivers - not just Ralf and Rubens - 'hide the fact' that they also wear contact lenses.

I remember about 3 months ago i heard DC has close to the best eyesight a human can possibly have. I feel sorry for any driver who would be forced out of F1 because their eyesight is getting worse.

well so what somebody has to have the worst eye sight

If his eyesight was that bad then surely he would take a risk with laser eye surgery? Now-a-days contact lense technology is so good, that I would imagine JV et als eyes are better than some of the prescription free drivers!

I seem to remember a certain incident with Massa at Monaco....

Takuma can see fine. He seems to lack judgment though.

Un-like the pre--WWII stereotype of the Japanese.

Yes but that was a separate incident. Montoya

So this is why JV couldn't see JPM in Suzuka then. It seemed a strange mistake.

I missed the debate on that but I'm sure you'll excuse my timing in getting my proverbial two cents in on this one considering my recent circumstances. Juan Montoya had no business going round the outside in such a place. It was yet another example of thoughtless driving from the Columbian. I trust this was the consensus opinion...

Pah. Montoya's all balls, no brains, Turkey, Canada and Japan proved it.

It's absolute BS. One you have contacts or glasses in your eyesight is perfect.

Dunno about Montoya... But ive seen Schumacher cause two deliberate accidents. Both on the last days of the '94 & '97 seasons... Aparently his eyesight is fine.. Strange

Indeed----the bull in a china shop.

Yes Narain_Fan, I know of the mindless Montoya fans and their disruptive activities within the forum.

It was a very amusing yet interesting debate...

This is old, old, old news. Why whoever wrote this decided to make a story of this only a few days ago is beyond me.

I seem to remember a certain incident with Massa at Monaco....

but that wasn't through lack of vision or poor vision, that was poor judgement. Besides, JV describes the incident in full in the interview with F1 Racing, he reckons he should have just punted Massa off and got some points instead of going in half heartedly because he was his teammate and worried about taking him off
