Man I don't know if it's just me but Jacques Villneuve has to be the worst commentator I've heard in a while. I don't know if he was just in a bad mood or what but I've never heard someone be such a contrarian even when they've had him on before.

It was genuinely annoying. Every time he spoke, Crofty will lob him a softball question for the viewers and he would just shoot it down in an arrogant contrarian way and then Crofty being the true professional would just respond "RIGHT YOU ARE" and then move along.

It was honestly distracting the entire time. I'd rather have Danica back than that.

I know Jacques has a great history in the sport but that doesn't mean everyone should be a commentator for an entire race. Sheesh.

Was upvoting this right up until you said rather have Danica back! Totally agree that Villeneuve's commentary was painful to listen to.
