Villeneuve en série CART... une histoire nébuleuse

 
 
 
 

2002.08.29 Jacques Villeneuve en série CART, c'est vraiment une histoire complexe, sinon nébuleuse... Jusqu'à présent, on avait seulement entendu les commentaires de Gerry Forsythe et des représentants de Player's, tandis que Jacques Villeneuve avait réagi à toute cette affaire seulement par voie de communiqué de presse, mercredi. >>>>

 
 
 
 

A reality check for Villeneuve

 
 
 
 

2002.08.28 The news revealed by CART team owner Gerald Forsythe that Jacques Villeneuve has turned down a $50m offer from him to race in CART in 2003 and then return to F1 for two more years with BAR is an indication that the top drivers are going to have to pay more attention to the real world. There is a major recession taking place and if the dirvers fail to take note of this, there are going to be some careers broken and some egos dented. >>>>

Villeneuve's Catch 22

 
 
 
 

2002.08.21 Jacques Villeneuve has always been a very independent character and while this has made him a popular figure with race fans, it does have its drawbacks. Teams have never been happy with the amount of promotional work Jacques is willing to do and now that British American Racing is under a new management there is a desire to use the money he is due to be paid to help develop the team. >>>>

 
 
 
 

Setting up an F1 car

 
 
 
 

2002.08.19 It's all about compromise. The compromise between grip, downforce and drag has to be finely balanced so that the car's performance isn't, err, compromised... Geoffrey Willis explains. >>>>

 
 
 
 

Villeneuve would be 'crackers'  to return to CART according to Eddie Irvine

 
 
 
 

2002.08.18 Jaguar driver Eddie Irvine thinks Jacques Villeneuve would be mad to return to the States to compete as the 1997 champion has nothing to prove. Over the past week, reports have surfaced that BAR boss, Dave Richards would willingly allow his driver to make the switch to the CART series in an attempt to save the 12 million pounds he will be forced to pay the Canadian driver is he stays with the team next season. >>>>
