"Modern Formula 1 is artificial" - Villeneuve

Formula 1 has become "artificial" and is in danger of losing the respect of its fans, according to former world champion Jacques Villeneuve.

The 42-year-old Canadian, who won the 1997 title for Williams, criticised the DRS system and the decision to award double points in the final race.

"I don't get modern Formula 1. They started going the artificial way to create a fake show," he told BBC Sport.

He added drivers "lack personality" and should speak out against the changes.

Villeneuve - one of only three drivers to have won the Formula 1 world title, the Indycar Championship and the Indy 500 - believes the changes made to F1 since he left the sport in 2006 have not improved it.



Personally, I don't mind DRS - although I would prefer some rule changes to introduce some strategy, and remove the "candy from a baby" overtakes that happen on long straights now. Perhaps allow drivers to use it wherever they want, but only a certain number of times per race?

As for double points....I've already bludgeoned the entire forum with how stupid I think that idea is. I'm completely with Villeneuve on that.

What about you?
