Jacques Villeneuve has once again hit out at Lance Stroll, this time stating that the private testing that the Williams driver is doing is "unfair". Prior to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Stroll travelled to the US to do a private test, learning more about how to set up a car among other things.
After his test, Stroll went on to claim his first ever podium in F1, however, his father doesn't believe that the test was a factor to the result in Baku. Villeneuve says that Stroll is gaining an unfair advantage due to the money his father is issuing.
"They are circumventing the rules," Villeneuve told Le Journal de Montreal newspaper. "It's not fair to the other drivers because he is the only one to have this privilege thanks to his money. But there should be limits to what money can buy, and I'm not alone in thinking that," the Canadian added.
Villeneuve was also critical of Stroll's interaction with the press so far in 2017: "You told me that Williams had refused to arrange a telephone interview after his (Stroll's) podium in Baku," he said. "I find that inconceivable, as I never refused such requests, even when everything went wrong and I was being criticised from every side. Stroll's entourage should be aware of that," Villeneuve insisted.

Reality check!
Lance Stroll has been a champion in Formula 4, Toyota Racing Series and in Formula 3. Hardly the legendary trio of motorsport, but being so young as he is, that is pretty impressive.
