Jacques Villeneuve criticized McLaren for showing weakness in their fight against Red Bull, particularly in their lack of aggressiveness and ruthlessness during the Emilia-Romagna GP.
He pointed out McLaren’s hesitance to swap positions between drivers Norris and Piastri, which he believes is costing them points in the championship race.
Villeneuve expressed disappointment in McLaren’s failure to prioritize a driver and take advantage of strategic opportunities during the race.
He highlighted McLaren’s contentment with second and third places, rather than pushing for first and second, as a sign of their perceived weakness compared to Red Bull’s approach to racing.
Overall, Villeneuve believes McLaren’s cautious strategy and lack of assertiveness are hindering their competitiveness and playing into Verstappen’s hands in the title race.
