Former Formula 1 champion Jacques Villeneuve released an angry statement after being dropped by his team weeks before the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The Canadian won the 1997 F1 title in just his second season in the sport. He remained racing in that category until 2006, winning 11 races and securing 23 podiums in total. Since then, he has tried his hand at several other series including NASCAR and Formula E.
Villeneuve finished second at Le Mans in 2008 with Peugeot and tested a hypercar late last year in a bid to return to the World Endurance Championship with Vanwall. He landed that spot and has taken part in three races so far this year.
