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

Jacques Villeneuve said that financial barriers and the absence of a Canadian feeder series are why few drivers reach Formula 1.

Villeneuve, the 1997 Formula 1 world champion, explained that the high cost of racing and the lack of a domestic development series are the main reasons Canada has few drivers in the top tier. He pointed out that while Canadian talent has appeared in F1 and IndyCar – such as Lance Stroll, Nicholas Latifi and James Hinchcliffe – the pathway to the pinnacle remains limited. catcross.org
