Attila should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I just heard the Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to test for Toyota. Of course the lower part of his legs will have to be cut down so that he can fit into the car, but according to his agent driving an F1 car has more potential than running California :-).








That is all I can say about the JV issue.....

Any truth in the rumour EA Sports (or whoever it is) wrote an exclusive one-off version of their FIA World Championship 2003 PS2 game for Jacques? I've heard it has no Ferraris or BARs in it and all the computer drivers are clones of Bruni and Baumgartner ... oh, and there's a special option where Jacques' team mate's car blows up when you hit L2/R2. And there's a bonus arcade game where you get to run over Schumacher and Richards dummies ... oh and finally, there's a special historic option where you can re-run Championships from years past - so he can run 1997 again and again and again until he wins all the races he should have done...

That's a fair point actually. He wasn't fired as such. "Fired" suggests a contract was terminated. He just didn't have his contract renewed.

FACT!

Mind you, one could argue that he was fired for the last race...

Why waste effort for a team and a teamboss that don't appreciate your work whatever your results are?

As I said, "one could argue". Honestly, I don't know the circumstances. I'd guess it was Jacques choice, in that he wasn't in the correct frame of mind to race. But whether it was Jacques who said "I'm not racing" or DR who said "You're not racing" I don't know. Moot point really.

That just shows JV's maturity. His heart wasn't in it, so he decided not to race the Japanese GP, is he DID race, he could have been a danger to himself and others. Dajiro Kato had already lost his life in a MotoGP race at Suzuka, so it was the right thing for JV to do.

As I recall (and I do stand to be corrected) it was announced that he wouldn't race just before he got on the plane and he expressed disbelief. Makes me think he was sacked.

But let's notget into the personality bit again.

Well it's tantamount to being fired.....I mean, I know if I went into work and was told my services weren't required I'd feel fired! (bloody delighted as well, mind! )

Kirk has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
The bashers claim to despise JV posts yet seem to contribute the most. Why is that?

Anyway, an interesting quote from PH today. Read into it what you will:

However, explaining Williams' ideas for their 2005 line-up, newly appointed Director of Engineering Patrick Head said: "It's only really possible to take on somebody young and in their first year if you know that you are not going to be a championship competitor. If you are looking for a driver and you want to be confident that he can win races, there is nothing that beats somebody having done it previously."

this was not "today"... but this is the first 'credible' source to a JV return... a direct quote from PH...but if they want race winners it still is a broad criteria...

though a JV comeback is more likely than a Mika Hakkinen comeback thats for sure...

I don't know if you have me on ignore or what Ralf fan (wouldn't surprise me really given my past posts reguarding the driver that bears your name) but I did include the Patrick Head comment in my list of FACTS reguarding the possiblity of a JV return, although I was under the impression that Frank Williams had made that comment.

Anyways I do think the words really say a lot about the drivers Williams are considering for 2005. And I completely agree with the Hakkinnen comment.

However I would like to say that I must have made an error on the available Toyota drives. I am 99% certain I saw an article on f1-live about a month ago stating that Toyota would have a new driver line-up next season. However recently they have announced that Panis and Damatta may be back next season. Personally I think this is a tactic to reassure their drivers amongst all this Ralf Shumacher to Toyota talk and to make sure their minds are on racing and not politics.
I have little doubt Ralf is on his way there for 2005 and I think it is possible Villeneuve could be there as well. We'll see I guess.

Actually Teddy. It sounded to me that Toyota carefully worded that statement ... they closed the door for a driver change this year ... but were leaving 2005 wide open, without really endorsing either of their present drivers.
