MONTREAL — Daniel Ricciardo let Jacques Villeneuve hear it in more ways than one after the Canadian racing legend suggested he should no longer be in Formula One.

Villeneuve, the 1997 F1 world champion and son of Gilles Villeneuve, ranted in a Sky Sports television broadcast Friday that Ricciardo was no longer cut out for the circuit.

The 34-year-old Ricciardo of the RB F1 team responded at the Canadian Grand Prix on Saturday by placing fifth in qualifying, his best result of the season.
