JV 'Asisted' In His Decision Not To Race At Suzuka

Villeneuve didn't choose not to race at the season ending race at Suzuka.
Contrary to previous reports, our sources indicate that Jacques was encouraged to pull out of the race in order to make room for local favorite Takuma Sato.
Last year, Sato drove a Jordan to a surprising fifth place in the Japanese Grand Prix. BAR management is indicated to be responsible for the move in order to please a faction within Honda that want Sato in the car.
Sato has been chosen to drive for BAR next season.
It seems unlikely that Jacques would have chosen not to race in what is possibly his last F1 race and it would be a shame to have to say goodbye to Jacques under these circumstances.


Als dit waar is .... Richards your a DICK ...

JV u rule ...
