Villeneuve dreams of the Nordschleife

In the past, Jacques Villeneuve has already managed to enjoy victories at the European Grand Prix. Nevertheless, the Nürburgring is not necessarily one of the dates on the calendar the Canadian looks forward to particularly. He is, however, one of many to be fascinated by the 'Green Hell'.

"The Nürburgring is not one of my favourite tracks, although in the past I have done well there: I won my first and my last Grand Prix there in 1996 and 1997," says Jacques Villeneuve. "Last year the European Grand Prix was one of the most difficult races of the season. Since they put the new layout in the first part of the circuit, I really don't like the Nürburgring anymore, so it is probably my least favourite Formula One track."

But even if the Nürburgring is not one of Jacques preferred racing venues, the Canadian driver could imagine driving at the legendary Nordschleife. "I have always wished we could race on the Nordschleife," Jacques admits. "I have not had a chance to go round it yet, but that really would be mega."

This weekend, Jacques and his team-mates Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica will, however, perform at the 5,148 kilometre Grand Prix circuit in the German Eifel region. "Still, I hope we can get some good results there, especially as the race is in Germany and for BMW that makes it important."
