SILVERSTONE, England (AP) - Former Formula One world champion Jacques Villeneuve will test for Renault at Silverstone this week.

Renault said in a statement that the Iberville, Que., native would test at the site of the British Grand Prix on Wednesday and Thursday. He had a seat-fitting at the team's base on Tuesday. "We have reached agreement for Jacques to test for the team," Renault managing director Flavio Briatore said.

"This test might lead to Jacques joining the team for the final three races of the season beginning next week at the Chinese Grand Prix."

Renault's current drivers are Jarno Trulli and Fernando Alonso. It's third in the manufacturer's championship.

 

where have you been ? JV will drive for Renault for the last 3 races of the season, then he has to give up such a lovely car for the pig called Sauber..

look out for an amazing launch in china next weekned.. woo hoo !

 

Ya baby!

 

if i was Flav.. i would keep his car extremely light on fuel so he can grab pole, then fly off for 4-7 laps and lead the GP.. cuz you know how quick the Renault's are from the start.. would be nice to see..

Pollock did good.. now the pressure is back on david richards

 

huh? If they're so good at the start, why bother trying to get pole. Start in 4th and get into 1st by the first lap!

 

i think he'd have more headlines grabbing pole than starting 4th..

remember a young french cdn. who grabbed pole from Damon Hill in 1996 in Australia ? Hmm ? what was his name ???? man that shit was written up , more like eaten up by all the major media in europe

jmho

 

true...
