In a pre race interview, Monsieur Villeneuve said he would fall back right from the start and stay out of everyone’s way. “I’m not here to win a race, or to ruin anyone’s chase hopes, I’m here to get experience.” He did just that. Started at the back, drove around the middle of the pack and kept his nose very clean. He was nowhere near The Big One and finished a well thought out 21st. Nice job JV.
I must admit I was upset that he was going to run in this particular event but when he decided on his own to go to the back of the pack he regained my respect.
