Villeneuve eyes home-run
Sat 07-06 2003
Jacques Villeneuve is hoping for a change of fortunes in his home race in Montreal next weekend.
Villeneuve has had a frustrating season so far - he has been overshadowed by team-mate Jenson Button and has finished just three races so far this year.
However, Montreal is the worst possible place for Villeneuve to attempt to turn his season around. The French-Canadian has a dismal record in his native Canada and has scored points in the race just once in seven attempts.
Villeneuve said: "We worked on the new engine for Montreal at our test in Monza. The car looks good in low downforce trim, so we should be competitive in Canada.
"Although we have had a lot of reliability issues at most of the past races this season, I am looking forward to the race in Montreal. Hopefully we will have a more positive weekend compared to the ones we have already had.
"The race track is not that interesting during qualifying because the corners are slow and there are a few chicanes, but it is great for the race. There is some heavy braking, which allows for plenty of overtaking opportunities."
The track at Montreal is, of course, named after Jacques' father Gilles.
Jacques said: "Montreal is a fantastic location for the grand prix. The race track is in a nice spot and we, as drivers, are closer to the crowds than at most tracks. Races in Montreal have always been very exciting."
Team-mate Jenson Button, who sat out the last race at Monte Carlo, is also itching to get back to action.
He said: "After my crash in Monaco I'm looking forward to getting back on track in Canada and hoping the weekend goes a bit more smoothly for me! It's a funny circuit as it's just a few long straights divided up by tight chicanes, so it's a case of full throttle, hard on the brakes, full throttle, hard on the brakes, and so on.
"The track is pretty dirty at the start of the weekend so it's vital to be one of the last runners in Saturday's qualifying session. This means it's important for us to get a good spot on Friday. Given the car's performance so far this year I think it will be well-suited to Montreal, so I'm confident we can have a good crack at the points this weekend.
"I'm happy to report that I feel fine and I'm ready for Montreal!"
