Villeneuve racing in F1?
http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/au...l?sn=telesport
http://www.f1today.nl/20100715/ville...ve-racing.html According to our national newspaper Jaques Villeneuve is trying to put a team under his own name in F1 for next year, He is one of 4 contenders for the 13th slot. Rumours have him linked with both Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds. Anyone have heard similar stories? |

OK, JV is an impressive name for a new team to have on board. But who does he want to, you know, build and run the damn things?

Does he have a shed with an autoclave? Supposedly they haven't worked together for a while.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/8826793.stm The BBC think it might not be based in England, and doubt Flav. Possibility of getting someone like Mygale to build an F1 car? |

The annual Villeneuve comeback story eh? Part of me wants to see him back, another part thinks it's a bad idea and both parts agree it'll never happen.

There's worse than Villeneuve coming back. There's the thought of Flav coming back. That's the scary part. Turds should be more welcome in swimming pools than Flav in F1.

It's the only way he'll get an F1 ride and even then he might not get the job...
Maybe he should take off the rose colored glasses, look in the way-back machine and remember his lackluster results and sacking during the last stint and then look at Schumi's 2010 season and thank his lucky stars he has a WDC to his credit and a NASCAR ride. |

Villeneuve was doing well with BMW before he was replaced, I seem to remember.

Personally I'd love him to come back, because it would prove once and for all what a damn silly idea it is.

Based on the 12 races he contested in 2006 before getting the sack, and throwing out all of the races where either JV or NH did not finish for whatever reason; out of 7 races completed by both drivers he was beaten by his team mate 5 times. The final WDC points total for 2006 was JV - 7, NH -23. 2005 wasn't any better for the "Delusionist". |

Is this another Jos (JV) comeback story in disguise? Maybe somebody should stomp on his wings!!!

TBF I do think we need some comedy again in F1.

Stirling Moss was in the paddock last weekend, probably scouting for a drive. I haven't seen the 'Moss coming back?' thread just yet though. This is my favourite post of yours: Quote:

Perhaps I can help... I talked to Jacques, I call him that because he told me to (I called him Jack, actually Jack***), he said he would never return to F1. He said he couldn't even score points on the old PS1 game in the '97 Williams. He also pointed out how Schumacher is doing this year. He said he finished 3rd in a local lawnmower race and is doing well in general, though. Last edited by HughGJohnson; 18 Jul 2010 at 10:23. Reason: pasted 2nd hand quote |
