Villeneuve sparks controversy

MAGNY-COURS: Formula One championship contender Jacques Villeneuve has upset his rivals with comments he made last week.

Villeneuve said: "When someone has an accident, everyone acts as if they are sad, but they don't really care. As a driver, you know the risk is there every time you go out. As a racing driver you take risks every time you go out. If you can't accept that then you shouldn't be out there."
