"I don't get modern Formula 1. They started going the artificial way to create a fake show," he told BBC Sport.
He added drivers "lack personality" and should speak out against the changes.
No entiendo la fórmula 1 moderna. Empezaron por un camino artificial para crear un espectáculo falso, le dijo a BBC Sport.
Agregó que los pilotos estan mostrando una falta personalidad y deberian manifestarse en contra de los cambios
F1's 2014 rule changes
BBC Sport talks you through the rule changes to F1 for the 2014 season
Villeneuve - one of only three drivers to have won the Formula 1 world title, the Indycar Championship and the Indy 500 - believes the changes made to F1 since he left the sport in 2006 have not improved it.
A major rule change for the 2014 season is the decision to award double points at the final race in an attempt to heighten interest in the World Championship.
DRS - drag reduction system - was introduced in 2011 to increase overtaking and in turn make F1 more exciting for its fans.
"Imposing DRS where you press a button to overtake someone else - once you start going down that route you cannot stop, you have to make more and more of it," said Villeneuve.
"So now we have double points for the last race. What's the next thing that will come?
"It becomes more and more artificial and instead of having a positive effect, you end up making it where people don't respect it any more."
Villeneuve, who will drive for the Scottish team, Albatec Racing, in World Rallycross next season, believes drivers are "highly uninteresting" in the sport.
"It's a habit now to not have a personality any more in Formula 1," he told BBC Radio 5 live Sport.
"You can imagine a driver that gets a lot of sponsor money being told 'don't say that please' and he will toe the line.
Te imaginas a un piloto que le da un montón de dinero un patrocinador y le dicen "no digas eso por favor" y él no saca el pie de la linea que le marcan.
"So they are not fast, paid to race and highly uninteresting on top of it. It is tough for F1 right now."
por lo tanto No son rápidos, son pagados por correr y muy desinteresados por estar arriba??? ahora es un momento difícil para la F1.
