F1 | Villeneuve: “Parents of pilots must stay out of their children's affairs”
“In these times with social networks they have too much say,” added the Canadian champion
What happened in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix in Brazil three weeks ago obviously sparked public opinion. Let's talk clearly about the matter that involved Verstappen and Perez and the Dutchman's failure to facilitate his teammate regarding second place in the drivers' championship. Checo's father made a comment to the Mexican media, essentially saying how his son is capable of winning those more difficult races that Max is unable to bring home, see Monaco. Jacques Villeneuve, 1997 world champion, wanted to have his say on the issue.
“I think Perez's dad should stay out of these matters – the Canadian told Formule1.nl. In these times of social networks, parents have a lot of consideration, but this shouldn't happen, they shouldn't be involved. Jos Verstappen, for example, is less and less visible, he is kept increasingly out of his son's matters and this is positive."
