No, this is not a joke: former Formula 1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve was trapped in a bathroom for 30 minutes…
Even champions face mishaps. And no, bad luck didn’t spare Jacques Villeneuve either: the Canadian found himself stuck in the restrooms at Milan Malpensa Airport while traveling to Melbourne, the first stop of the 2025 Formula 1 season.
The 1997 world champion shared the incident on his social media, posting two updates to narrate his misadventure to his followers.
Villeneuve stuck: the first post of complaint…
“Been stuck in the toilets for the last 20 minutes and security incapable of getting me out. Toilet flushing every 30 seconds. Having a blast. Very impressive.
Good start to the trip to Australia.”
… and the long-awaited escape!
“Managed to get out after 30 minutes 😄 Had to kick the door down, and a block from the ceiling fell on my head. Ready to get Down Under. 💪
Viaggiare è 😀”
