Jacques Villeneuve remains cautious

Jacques Villeneuve is the name that came up most often during the transfer period of the Formula 1. Candidate for a return to F1 for several months, the Canadian has been announced in numerous teams, the latest being Stefan GP, ​​the team of Zoran Stefanovic which aspires to compete in the Formula 1 world championship. However, an agreement with Stefan GP is not a rumor, Stefanovic himself having mentioned the name of the Quebecois (see elsewhere). The team does not have a place on the starting grid for the F1 season, Jacques Villeneuve does not want to get excited.

« It's really premature to say that anything has been resolved, but it's obvious that in light of what has been said and written, I will look further into the Stefan GP file. “, Villeneuve told RueFrontenac. However, he is easily satisfied with this place if it proves viable. “ I said I expected my best chance to come with transfers after the start of the season. If there is a chance that it will unlock faster, so much the better! »

« For now, there are still a lot of unknowns, continues Villeneuve, dont, surtout, la question de savoir si la FIA va autoriser Stefan GP à disputer la saison advenant le cas où une autre des équipes déclarerait forfait ce qui, soit dit en passant, n’est pas encore fait. En revanche, avec l?appui apparent de Bernie Ecclestone, avec les voitures et les moteurs de Toyota, Stefan GP pourrait être la mieux placée des nouvelles équipes. »
