Villeneuve Blames Cost & Lack of Feeder Series for Few Canadian F1 Drivers

Jacques Villeneuve said the high cost of racing and the absence of a domestic feeder series keep Canadian drivers from reaching Formula 1.

Villeneuve said that Canada’s limited number of Formula 1 drivers stems from the steep financial barriers and the lack of a domestic feeder series to develop talent. He noted that while Canadian drivers like Lance Stroll, Nicholas Latifi and IndyCar star James Hinchcliffe have succeeded, the country still struggles to produce a steady stream of F1 competitors. rocore.sbs
