Villeneuve just never seems to disapear...
Most interesting...
It seems JV seems to be in the news for one thing or the other every month or so, but to me, this is one of the more interesting stories concerning him
JV- where did you get your millions upon millions of dollars?

Villeneuve targets Virgin takeover
ESPNF1 Staff
September 15, 2010
Italian racing team Durango has confirmed Jacques Villeneuve's announcement that there are plans to buy an existing Formula One team despite the FIA stating there would be no additional teams on the grid in 2011.
"We have a budget in place for the next three years, and the design of the car is going very well," Villeneuve said shortly before the FIA's statement. "Phase 1 is nearing completion."
It has subsequently emerged Villeneuve is now looking as a possible take-over of one of the existing teams, with HRT and Virgin the most likely targets.
"The only way to enter F1 in 2011 is to buy an existing team," Durango spokesman Giuseppe Dorigo said. "As planned we will do it together with Jacques Villeneuve. We believe it's worth it. Our only goal now is to be on the starting grid next year."

I know he will go back into retirement sooner or later, but I'd really like to see vintage Schumi back in action for at least one race before he goes.
Still remember Brazil 2006. What a race...

^^^^ dont be on denial 
Schumi's days are over, i said it before this season started, and i assure you that next year his performance will be worse as he ages furthermore.
delarosa's comeback was also a fail. and i think if JV comes back he'll face FAIL squared.
the only good example of a veteran driver now is Barichello. and thats because he kept his momentum and didnt stop F1 racing and the fact that barichello's age now is similar to MS's age in 2006 when he retired at nearly the top of his game. at a certain age, if you stop you cant just go back up to where you were before.
