Canadian looks set to
stay with current team
Jacques Villeneuve is likely to remain
at BAR for 2004 - despite his frustration at the team's continuing
lack of reliability this season, according to Autosport magazine.

It is understood that a
final decision has not been made by the former world champion on
where he will race in 2004, but BAR is now favourite to retain his
services on a performance-related deal. A contract is expected to be
signed with the next month.
Despite hitting out at
the reliability of the BAR package in Canada last weekend,
Villeneuve has admitted that he is encouraged with the progress the
team has made. "I don't want to wait until I am 50 to be in a
position to be competitive again," he said. "But what you
have to understand is that the BAR car had made a huge step forward
this year. We have closed the gap to Ferrari a lot and, for us, that
is very important.
"When you make a
decision you have to see what is available and what your options
are, and it is impossible for me to give you an answer until I know
what the options really are. It is easy to say now 'Oh, I only want
to drive in these kind of teams', but when the question is you drive
in another team or you stay at home, then maybe you will change your
mindset."
