      Pole position in his first race at Melbourne and the way he aggressively drove against Hill during that race to be denied the win because he had some sort of mechanical glitch, I thought this guy was going to be a F1 sensation. He didn t have a car in 1998 to defend his title with Williams losing Renault engines and not having the might of Newey. Going to BAR was where his career really went flat.

When everyone around you is successful doing it, and the FIA is doing nothing to put a stop to it, one ought not blame Schumacher for seizing the opportunity. Schumacher was the one who was most heavily penalized for it in the end, but I find it hard to fault him given the era in which he drove.

    It's sad that people ignore or downright criticise Villeneuve's BAR years but in reality he did deliver some of his best performances during the early years and kept the team in the midfield just like Sergio Perez.

      His best years was in 1998 and after driving that 98 Williams shitbox to 5th and obliterating Zonta and Panis in the BAR lemon. His worst year was 1997 when he should have won the title with 5 races to spare.

    The thing about those who claim it was “just the car” is that, if you use that excuse, you have to admit his downfall was also due to his ride (losing their engine manufacturer then going to BAR). In reality, to win a championship you do need to be one of the best out of those 20ish f1 drivers (who are already basically the most talented in the world). You obviously also need at the very least a car that is capable of leading.
