actually, villeneuve didnt do so badly as people suggest...
in a williams meccachrome that was not particularly good during the mclaren years of 98/99 he was certainly a contender for best of the rest after the ferraris and mclarens. he scored two podiums dont forget, and a string of 4th 5th and 6th places. not bad with 3 retirements ALL season too!
we can forget 1999 as the bar intro year, dont even count the retirements lol!
During he ferrari domination of 00/01/02/03 etc JV didnt fare too badly in 2000 in a less than performing BAR honda just missing the podium on a number of occasions with 4ths and 5ths.
the years after were those troublesome craig pollock times which i could put blame to bad performance we just dont know. could be any reason as much as another.
nonetheless fast foward to today, 2006 hasnt been too bad, hes just getting back into a consistent form, ok not championship winning form but a consistent form!
i think he'll be back, albeit with a much much lesser team.
or maybe prodrive? :P
Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it
