Just spotted this: Williams set to test Villeneuve. So there is a chance we will see him back in Formula 1 next year. Though I have been a Villeneuve fan since his CART days, I must admit that perhaps for him (and certainly for BAR) dropping him from the team was for the best this year. It seemed like had turned bitter and was a huge negative for the team.
Hopefully if he does get back on the grid the bitterness will be gone.
