Formula Lost

Jacques Villeneuve is my favourite race car driver.
Ever since, about a year ago, Jacques Villeneuve left Formula One racing, I’ve been checking TSN’s Formula One racing page, hoping to someday see the headline that “Jacks is Back”. Well, I was pleased to see that headline about a week or two ago, annoucing he’s signed with Sauber-Petronas for the next two year. I wasn’t so pleased that it was Sauber, a middling team at best, that he signed with. I was hoping it would be Renault. That displeasure was somewhat lessened though, when, the next day, it was announced that Jacques would finish out this year (3 more races) with Renault, starting with this weekend’s race in China.

    I think Jacques has really not benefitted from the new one-lap qualifying format. His strenth was always in actual wheel-to-wheel racing moreso than pulling out series of perfect laps a la Schu. Not really compatible with today’s F1 style. I would like to see him try Le Mans / ALMS (winning le mans would make him the only driver ever to win the Indy 500, the Champ Car championchip, the F1 world championchip and Le Mans. He should team up with Mario Andretti and let him drive enough laps so he could share the honours as well if they won..) Instead he seems to want to hang on to an F1 career. ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz….

    I’m one of the unfortunate few who could not afford speed, let alone cable connection to watch yesterdays australian F1 race- i saw you mentioned something about finding a bittorrent link to the race. I cant find it- and ive been avioding the race results in the hope that i could ownload the link and re-live the race.

    Could you PLEASEEEEEE HELPPPP me out. You’d be a lifesaver. Thanks in advance.

    From one fan to another! God bless F1!
