Well, he is a former CART champion (from when that meant something), an Indy 500 winner and and a former F1 champion. His (early)F1 stats are also a touch better than his Dad's shortened carreer. He did himself no favors(other than his bank account) by going to BAR.

Gilles never had a Newey-designed Williams, instead he often struggled with an uncompetitive Ferrari so statistics don't really do the faster Villeneuve justice.
