Villeneuve Resigns From GPDA

[Chris Strange 0]

I clearly put Villeneuve's name it the title so that, if you don't care about Villeneuve, then you are free to look elsewhere. This thread is clearly for those who care for news about Jacques.

I thought we were living in a democracy....

It is incredible how many websites cannot spell principle. Online journalism is useless, they should all just give up.

Kenneth, it's hard trying to actually figure out what offended you mate... what exactly is the problem?

Kenneth is upset because 1 member called JV a cry baby, so now kenneth is saying that all of us are babies. He thinks the world is against JV when in fact there are plenty of JV fans here

he's upset for that?

Nope i'm upset cos people here judge drivers strangely here ... JV wins everything so a bit of respect on him,

i hate really hate Schumi but i have respect for someone who achives so much , here is not the same in case of JV , so sometimes i'm fed up hearing bad things on him, that's all

and then those who critcs Jv more then others are those who are fans of Jb for example still searching for that miracle win .... so its better to pray for thier driver then insulting Jv cos for me that's insulting him...

so respect people.....

The only button fans here are me and ben (jenson_rules) and we never attack JV.

And just because you're a fan of a driver who hasnt won a race yet, doesnt mean you cant form an opinion on other drivers who have won

[Eduan 0]

Hey I like JV and I am Button fan too!!

I don't see Jv's point Schmi did what he had to do and all was resolved.Now its is Jv that is a bit sour because of it.In my opinion the less a driver gets involved in F1 politics the better!

[KoolMonkey 0]

Ed, saying it's resolved and it actually being so are not the same things. Funny how Schumi is so quick to say let's put this behind us and move on. When it fact it means he wants to not address his intentional foul/****up.

I commend what JV did. You only have to look at the ITV pre-race show at Monaco to see the various driver comments from DC, Trulli, Webber, Nico, JPM (his no comment, but you freaking know I know you know Schumi is an assclown for doing something so deliberate), Flavio etc. to see them all very clearly and purposely lay the blame at Schumis feet. Only JV and PDR had the balls to follow up their words with real action.

The GPDA is a bunch of crap anyways. Many of the top drivers do not attend like Kimi and Alonso. Schumi did absolutely nothing for driver safety last year during the USGP. All the drivers accept him (even his teammate Rubens) agreed putting in a chicane was the safest thing to do. Then they could have had a proper race. But no. Schumi didn't give a f**k about safety and basically made no decision which in that case was the equivalent of not agreeing with all the other drivers. He chose to not make the race safer. A contradiction when he is a director of the drivers safety association.

Kudos to JV, PDR and anyone else who has a brain and can think for themselves. Schumi's actions at Monaco were as fishy as anything he has ever done. I certainly wouldn't want someone I did not respect, trust or admire to be the head of an organisation concerning driver safety.

Where the hell did you suck that out of.Where did you here it was Schumi that did not agree on the chicane?What a load of rubbish!!You tell me when JV was on the GPDA what did he do for safety??

Kool, the problem at the USGP was the fault of Michelin not having a safe tyre. This isn't kindergarten and we don't alter the rules just so all the kids can feel happy and can play. Schumacher had no responsibility to alter the track to make up for his competitor's shortcomings.

Despite Michael's horrid tactics on-track, he has an excellent record promoting the safety of the circuits and of the drivers. I don't agree with all his (and Max's) efforts, but I cannot deny them. M$ has done more for safety than every single driver out there, save Stewart.

Jacques just wanted to make a political point. He's made it and now it will be forgotten in a few weeks and Jacques will have lost the power to affect any significant change in the sport. At the very least, his presence on the GPDA would have provided a counterpoint to M$. He's wasted the opportunity to do some good for a brief moment of protest.

Pointing to Kimi and Alonso not going to the meetings speaks ill for them, not for the members.

You make it look as if MS is a convicted criminal or something!!Last time i checked he was still the best driver on the grid and the most successfull ever!Why must always people here try to make him look bad?

He makes himself look bad on occasion. I was trying point out that despite those...occasions...he still is a driving force for safety.

If JV has so many 'principals' (sic) he should wait till Istanbul, oppose Michael's candidature if he wants, stand to be elected himself and do everything that Michael has done for the GPDA. Then you have a point. Mind you this is a rebuttal to your point - JV has made it amply clear that he is not making a martyr of himself - see my comment on the first page. Indy has nothing to do with the GPDA - you're clutching at straws there. And even if you can prove that the present directors have done nothing for the GPDA (you can't, they've done a lot), the response is for JV to do something himself, not quit in a huff.

the drivers were not the ones to dcide whether to put the chicane or not. I don't know where you got the point about Rubens from, if you have no credibility here you have to post a link to justify what you are saying.

My apologies to the rational JV fans here (and there are a few as I have said in the past), but a lot of them are beginning to sound like worshippers rather than fans.
