Jacques Villeneuve working to be in the grid

The world ex-champion, Jacques Villeneuve said he is “working hard” to secure his comeback in 2010 Formula One.

Villeneuve withdrew from the F1 for three years and a half, since he lost his place in Sauber in favor of Robert Kubica. At first, the possibility of becoming part of the Lotus project was mentioned, but it did not work out.

“A bunch of people got carried away with the Lotus thing,” Villeneuve stated. “I wanted to visit my good friend, Gino [Rosato] who is now working for Lotus, but at the production car company. I has absolutely nothing to do with the new Formula One team.”

Asked by Auto123.com about his plans, he explained: “There is nothing much to say at this point. I am still working hard to return to F1 this season. So hard you would not believe it.”
