Jacques' work hasn't gone unnoticed

According to reports in Autosport, all the hard work Jacques Villeneuve has been putting in to the development of the BAR005 hasn’t gone unnoticed, the boss of the Brackley based squad, Dave Richards, openly admitting that the 1997 champion has been working very hard of late.“Jacques has been working very hard for us. All credit to him, he has put in an awful lot of effort in the last few months, and I think it's recognised within the team as well,” he told the British magazine.Despite these words of praise, there is still no word on whether or not Jacques will be remaining with the British American Racing outfit next year. Speculation has it that the Canadian racer is close to signing a new deal with the team, but Richards refused to be drawn on the matter.
