Villeneuve Addresses Ricciardo's 'Personal' Response Following Heavy Criticism

"His reaction was a little bit personal and he's a role model. Like all these 20 [drivers], you're at the top level, you have to be responsible in your answers, professional."

"Kids are listening to you. You cannot make it personal. I'm happy to have learned that I knocked myself out too often playing ice hockey."

"But ultimately, you will get criticism; you need a thick skin, and I got under his skin, but it got better for his driving. But it's not enough, he needs to do more of this."

"The pressure is on him. A lot of pressure was put on his shoulders, and it worked out. He's had one good Sprint race in Miami and one good qualifying. That's not enough for a full season; he needs more of that."

"Yes. He was quick, but you're only as good as your last few results. We need the same thing for the next few race weekends."
