Villeneuve open to F1 return

Road tracks are all over the place in the U.S. and Canada, especially Quebec where almost every small town has a road course nearby.  The problem is that they can't make it to the European series unless they have a ton of cash, which most don't have.  And if they don't make it to the European series, they aren't noticed.  There is a ton of talent, but it needs to be fed to bigger series.  It's a logistical problem.

If you check Castro-Neves results, he is much more successful on ovals than road courses. Let's face it the US or even North America does not have a really qualified driver to head an F1 team.

USGP isn't going to win in their first season.  They don't need the best driver in the world, they need someone who is going to get around the track in one piece, and has a pressense that will generate interest in Americans.  More Americans know Castronevez than the top NASCAR drivers.

It's three years hence that USGP should plan on winning, and having a top flight American driver.

Besides, I think that Catronevez needs to move to a tax haven like Monaco or Switzerland...

Or at the very least, a new accountant

I have always felt that much of his success at Williams was because Damon left him a well sorted car to start with. BAR never had the success they should have, at least partly, because JV couldn't or wouldn't develop the car properly.

I think you may have a point that Damon left a well equipt team for JV to step into. And he showed what he can do with a car that is set up right.

But, JV was not the problem with BAR. It was his Manager/Ski Instructor/Team Principal Wanna-be Craig Pollock. This guy acually thought he could run an F1 team, when in fact he did, right into the ground!!

JV did not do well at BAR due to his loyalty to Pollock and it was his downfall.

He has the talent and skills needed for a new forming F1 team and USF1 would be nuts to not snatch him up.

Are you listening Peter!!
