Villeneuve relives his 1995 Indy 500 win
When AUTOSPORT asked JACQUES VILLENEUVE to pick his greatest drive, he opted for his 1995 Indy 500 win. As he announces a shock return to the race, here's another chance to read about his '95 triumph in his own words
It's very tough to choose the race of my life, because there are two. There's winning the Formula 1 world championship at Jerez in 1997 and the Indy 500 in '95. Even though winning the F1 championship against Michael Schumacher was extreme, and it was an incredible race with so much tension and pressure, the Indy 500 was even better.
At Team Green we called it the 505 instead of the 500 because of the two-lap penalty we had. So much happened in that race, and that made it so special.
