Heikki Kovalainen wonders over Jacques Villeneuve's statement where Kimi Räikkönen is stamped as a lucky champion.

Villeneuve won his own WDC in 1997, when his Williams-car was clearly the best car in the serie.

- I don't think it was civil text from Villeneuve. If you think about it the other way, then Villeneuve had quite a superior car when he won his WDC and after that he didn't make any results, Kovalainen said to MTV3.

- I don't know if the dig is taken out of context or if it went just like that. I don't know Villeneuve personally. Maybe it was a little stupid statement. You give a feeling of being a sore loser. A WDC is a WDC. They don't give out style-points in F1 so it's all the same how you win the WDC, it is always a tough thing, Kovalainen continues.

Kovalainen reminds that Räikkönen lost more than one championship during his McLaren-years due to his unreliable car.

- In Kimi's case he lost many championships because the car broke down. Kimi would certainly have two or three championships more by driving.
