AOL tells you what to think.

Post here all non technical related topics about Formula One. This includes race results, discussions, testing analysis etc. TV coverage and other personal questions should be in Off topic chat.

Actually when I was very young that is what I heard first, that Gilles was his Uncle, however that was quickly proved wrong lol. Seems to be a common (ish) mistake.
AOL is wrong
About what Gilles? Or the list? LMAO :lol:

Not, as many people believe, the father of Jacques Villeneuve, but actually his uncle.
this is very odd seeing as I found this on Jacques website
Gilles and Jacques were brothers. Jacques Villeneuve - the 1997 WDC is the son of Gilles. Jacques is name of his uncle - they have same first and last name and his uncle was F1 driver too.
Perhaps I've misunderstood something? :?
That is totally correct, whatever AOL has to say about Gilles or Jacques that conflicts with this is just nonsense. End of discussion ;)

There's NO way that list was in any type of order.
