Villeneuve slams crazy driving

The Canadian scored his first points of the season after finishing sixth, after a close battle with Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Jarno Trulli in the closing laps.

"It was a very difficult race," said Villeneuve. "The track was tough to drive but if you took care of yourself then it wasn't too bad. There wasn't that much water really; it's down to the drivers to be less crazy in those conditions and there was some crazy driving out there.

"Some drivers were overtaking under the yellow flags, halfway through the race I saw [Fernando] Alonso overtake under the flags. I think it's that kind of driving that leads to big accidents. We saw the same thing in the pit stops with drivers chopping across the field on the exit then having to lift halfway down the straight to stop them going off onto the grass. It's that sort of thing that creates the danger, not just the conditions themselves."
