Poor Jacques couldn't even recognize any Formula One car except the one his father drove, and someone who drove with him in Japan (whom I happen to know) didn't think much of him even there -- and a lot of his cohort thought he never would have got a drive if he had been named Jim Newton and not Jacques Villeneuve. Nevertheless he did quite well for himself until greed got the better of him -- and I think we would all have been sorry if he'd accepted the label of loser and gone into ski racing as he planned.
You never know what you can do until you get the chance to try.
