Jacques Villeneuve harshly criticized McLaren, and not without reason. Since it was definitively decided that the papayas have slipped from the individual world championship title, they have been claiming that it was always secondary to them...
This is, to put it mildly, unprofessional, and at this level, it's rather ridiculous, which Villeneuve could not ignore:
“McLaren said something incredible after the Brazilian Grand Prix, as they started talking about how their priority is not the individual championship, but the constructors' championship. And that it has always been this way... This is more than strange, as only die-hard losers say such things, and it seems that McLaren is a loser. I admit, there is money in the constructors' title, but that's really it; no one cares who wins.
In the end, people will only remember who wins in the drivers' race, and in their eyes, the team championship is won by the one who wins the individual. The constructors' victory is for the professionals and the wallet, it looks good on paper, but I say again: nobody cares... It's a shame for this attitude, because they are having a great season, and it is already a significant achievement that they forced Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing to compete.” - Villeneuve commented with his usual honesty.
