for all the NAY sayers, you forgot one thing. "Villeneuve sells", there would be no better commercial for F1 at this point in time, other than a Micheal Shumacher return. Controversial, good on track, Villeneuve name back on the grid and in paddocks would be a great commercial move by whichever team would hire him. Why on Earth do you think Bernie pushed for him to get back on the grid in a Renault after being fired by BAR? Money! I don't think it will happen though, too old. Since Montoya and Villeneuve left, F1 lost a lot of entertainment value. You could at least count on those two to stir up **** on the boring tracks like Hungary and, most unfortunatly today, 13 other boring GP's.

F1 » Villeneuve ready to return to newly 'human' and 'fun' F1

1997 F1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve has admitted that he is falling back in love with the top flight again - and is keen to return to the grand prix grid in 2010, when he contends his experience would be a boon to any team.

Well I guess they could do a lot worse. He's never really been that consistent, but I've seen this man do some incredible things with a race car. He can definitely be brilliant when he really wants it.

Couldnt agree more sodesu! :) inconsistent but on a good day he can be excellent! Trouble is, he's 38 now, the sort of age that most drivers are retiring, I think it will be hard to get a drive with any team considering his age, especially as teams always go for the youngest drivers possible nowadays! If he's lucky, he might get to drive for the new US team but he won't be there for more than a couple of seasons :S If anything, they will keep him only for his experience till the team is off the ground, then ditch him for some younger talent

I'd like to see him back, he's a very outspoken interesting character . I wonder if he would be quick enough though.

The press know that JV causes reaction, hence all the interviews. Desperately hoping this works out for him so I can have a driver to really support in F1 again

I don't want gladiators, ffs. I want racing drivers. I want professionals who don't behave like complete ****s to each other just because they want to win. I want people who do that on track, and leave the rest of it aside when they're talking to each other and in interviews.

Just 'cause the days of Villeneuve and Montoya are gone, when there was little choice but to be inflamatory, what with them being there, speaking out, like Jacques says, doesn't mean we need it back!
And I half suspect if he did come back we'd see enough comments fromother drivers about him not being sporting.

His pit crew laughing at him... What we want?

And that's not to say I never rated the guy - he won a championship after all, but I don't see him coming back, as he was disappointing with Sauber and BAR, and fell out with both. And he would just do his best to bring doucheyness back into the paddock.

Only chance will be with USF1, Campos or Manor. USF1 want "USA" drivers so that's out. As for Manor & Campos if they are even on the grid next year I would be surprised, if they are and they are less than 7secs off the pace I'd be even more surprised. And if JV was driving one of them then I'd be less surprised if Elvis arrived on earth in a flying saucer claiming to have arrived direct from Magrathea where he has been building a new Earth out of hamburgers.
