Villeneuve is back !!

Jacques Villeneuve will test a Williams next week in Monza. This is not yet confirm by Williams but it should happen soon.
A wind of change is blowing on Williams :

Quote:

Williams' Head to step aside Patrick Head is stepping down as BMW-Williams' long-serving technical director. The thirty percent team shareholder is likely to announce a staff shake-up on Tuesday as Grove opens a new wind tunnel at their headquarters in Oxfordshire. His successor is probably chief operations engineer Sam Michael, an Australian. Head could take-on the new, more managerial, role of 'director of engineering.'

Williams' 2004 car, the radical-looking FW26, has thus far proved a disappointment, and is ostensibly the reason for the technical re-organisation.

Head has been Williams' technical chief for 27 years.

A source close to Grove denied that Williams' owner and principal Sir Frank Williams ordered the change following pressure from German engine partner BMW. ''I made the decision,'' Patrick Head said at Monaco on Sunday. He said it's 'in response' to the unsatisfactory start of the season.

actually, if you goto www.pitpass.com, a williams spokesperson has refuted the story. no villeneuve test just yet.

I heard that it has been postponed too :wink:

I took this info from french version of F1-live. There are a lot of rumours on a come back of Villeneuve, i even hear Franck Williams during a Monaco report talking about him, and he was saying good things !

I'd really like to see jv get a seat for next season, but we'll wait and see. i'm a bit disappointed that he didn't try to get a ride for lemans this year.

I think it would be great if he comes back F1 needs a canadian

i'd love to see JV back ....

SPAD ... ferraris are Win/Win .... ull have no control over yer virginity ... :wink:

If JV comes back, I have a feeling that the largest feud might be between JV and Montoya. Unless they gang up, to take down MS

JV :agrue: PM = :angel: MS

Hahaha :lol:

Seriously as seen in the past tests dont mean a certain seat but it would be good to see him back in F1.

Ahh great. The asshole is back...I guess it wont do to much harm...he'll just have to get knocked out by someone when he comes back so he can watch his mouth a little.

saadie thanx for the advice

hope he gets back in grand prix racing. f1 needs a colorful character with colorful hair. :lol:

I'm not sure he deserves a good place in F1. Just have a look to what Button can do when he's promoted first driver. And Sato can be very fast, he just lack of a bit of wisdom, nothing else. F1 needs talentuous drivers not colorful characters

f1 already has loads of talented drivers. but some of them tend to be quite dull. what i'm really trying to say is that villeneuve is talented and at the same time very colorful who won't take sh*t from anybody. it would be nice to see schumi, villeneuve and jpm battling it out on and off the track.

:roll: Villeneuve has finally realized what extra he need to beat Michael -- it's not a better car or more talent from god, but very simply hard working and training :lol:

Really looking foward to see what he can do with Sam Michael's car.
