Villeneuve dropped by B.A.R

Sat 04-10 2003

The 1997 world champion, Jacques Villeneuve, has been dropped by B.A.R. Although B.A.R has yet to make an official announcement, if it's true it brings months of speculation to an end. It is almost certain that Takuma Sato wil be replacing Villeneuve for the 2004 season.

It uncertain of Villeneuve is going to drive in Japan, Pollock was unable to confirm this. It is believed that Villeneuve will announce his future plans in the next few days.

We received a call from BAR Managing Director, Dave Richards on Friday informing us of their decision," Villeneuve's manager Craig Pollock told the Canadian television channel TSN. "What is so disappointing is the fact that this team was built for and around Jacques, and he underwent all sorts of trials and tribulations over the years as BAR struggled to find its place in Formula One.

"Jacques never wavered and his loyalty to British American Racing was constant. He had other opportunities, and no one would have blamed him for going elsewhere, but he preferred to see this project through despite a car that did not live up to its expectations.

"Our primary emotions right now are sadness and disappointment," he added. "Jacques has given everything to British American Racing in its first five years, and always with a view to building a team that would be front-of-the-grid some day."
