McLaren on näköjään ollut aloitteentekijä tässä episodessa. Hienoa!

Villeneuve and McLaren
After being dropped by the BAR Honda team, Jacques Villeneuve is apparently looking to the McLaren Mercedes team for a test drive in 2004.
1997 F1 Champion Villeneuve was ditched by BAR prior to the Japanese Grand Prix in favour of Takuma Sato. With no highly competitive racing drives available for the 2004 season, the Canadian looked resigned to a year on the sidelines.
However it has emerged that he has been in touch with McLaren, although no agreement has been reached.
"We have been approached by Jacques Villeneuve with regards to testing for the team in 2004," a McLaren spokeswoman told F1Racing.net. "However, no meaningful discussions have taken place."
McLaren currently has Austrian Alexander Wurz on their books as their third driver, although he has been linked with a possible racing return with Jaguar next season.

No, saa nyt sitten nähdä mitä tapahtuu. Toivottavasti siirto toteutuu ja Jacques syrjäyttää Davidin kisakuskin paikalta vielä ennen kauden alkua!
