Villeneuve on Way Out
Discussion
It'd be a travesty if he wasn't in F1 next year.
Villeneuve could have won more than a handful of championships by now but was convinced to follow the blind hopes of C Pillock esq. Shame!
Still, at least we can look forward to seeing the highly charismatic, balls-out, entertaining, celebrity dating, bleedin' quick Sato next year. That should pull in the punters!
Why the likes of Bumgardener are driving when there is a far better pool of talent available (Gené, McNish, Wurz, etc.) I'll never know - well I do, it's money!

Ah come on Villenuve has sat back and taken the $$$ for how many years now , hes gone for cash not glory , and the sad thing is he could have had both , im disapointed with the guy ,and now i think his time has passed there are so many young talented drivers comeing up , and they do not demmand milti million $$$$$$$$$, Genne should be given a shot great result on Sunday from him
Jacque's been shown up by Jensen this year both in qualifying and racing and he is a character off the circuit, more than Jacques anyway. And there are other qualities Jens brings to F1, Louise for one 
In my opinion though the quicker Lewis Hamilton gets an F1 drive the better, he might just be in the frame when McLaren finally have a open seat and give Coulthard a proper PR job.

Rumour Rumour Rumour.
Villeneuve is looking like he's going to get squeezed out of BAR in favour of Sato for the Japanese GP. The rumour is that Williams want Villeneuve to race in place of Ralf, if Ralf is not fit for the US & Japan GP's. Which would of course satisfy Honda who want Sato in their car. Williams thinking that although Gene did a good job at Monza he hasn't tested at Indy or Suzuka and might struggle. It might all be pit lane whispers but you never know

Exactly , i would like to see him do good and the Williams would be the place for that to happen , but i think his day has gone
Metro said:I see a moody driver who consistently under-achieves. Yes, the car has been poor and unreliable, but he has been consistently outperformed by "lesser" team-mates (Panis and Button) and often throws the car at the scenery. And no, he has not achieved anything significant since he was in a car that was streets ahead of anything else on the track.
He added: 'It doesn't matter what you achieve, people will see what they want...
'I have never given up, I have never bad mouthed the team or Honda so I find myself in a difficult situation that is unasked for.
'I would not be walking away with nothing but you want to finish on a high note or because you are simply not good enough any more.'
Selective memory syndrome, I think. IIRC He has been less than complementary about the car, the engine and the team on a fairly regular basis for the last 2-3 years.
"...simply not good enough any more", I couldn't have put it better myself Jacques. You are the weakest link, good-bye.
