On the advice of driver Patrick Tambay, Villeneuve was sent to the French-speaking Swiss private boarding Collège Alpin International Beau Soleil by his mother and attended it from the ages of 12 (1983) to 17 (1988). The death of his father in an accident with Jochen Mass during qualifying for the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix at Circuit Zolder in May that year left him with a lack of interest in motor racing due to him feeling nervous over the dangers. Īged seven in 1978, he and his family relocated from Berthierville, Quebec, to the small principality of Monaco on the French Riviera in France's south-east coast close to the border with Italy to be nearer to Ferrari's headquarters and for Gilles wanting his children to be taught in French. Villeneuve spent most of his formative years travelling with the racing fraternity with his parents. His uncle, Jacques Sr., whom he was named after also competed in motor racing. Villeneuve has a sister, Melanie, and a half sister Jessica. He is the son of snowmobile and future Ferrari racer Gilles Villeneuve and his wife Joann Barthe. On 9 April 1971, Villeneuve was born in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, a small town outside of Montreal in the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec. 8.8 Complete FIA World Rallycross Championship results.
