Villeneuve and Durango Submitted Entry for the 2011 Formula 1 Championship
Posted on August 10, 2010 by Harry
Great news for the F1 fans as one of the most beloved drivers is expected to be back on track. The word is for the 1997 Formula 1 Champion, Jacques Villeneuve who formed a team under his name with the collaboration of the Italian Racing team Durango.
Villeneuve knows that one of the most important things in Formula 1 is the available funds in combination with the technical experience. He didn’t want to reveal where the money is coming from but he did stated that the whole effort is a joint venture. Rumors have linked several multi millionaires to the team but nothing is officially confirmed.
A very important thing is however, that at least for the first year, most likely Jacques Villeneuve will be in the cockpit of a Formula 1 Car. This will not only delight his fans but also will reduce the costs of the newly created team. The team is working hard to receive the first green light in order to participate to the 2011 Formula 1 Championship but as Villeneuve stated, nothing is certain.
What is certain however, it is that FIA will not repeat the same mistakes as they did last year when they permitted entry to USF1, blocking shortly after Stephan GP. As it is well known, USF1 was never able to secure the funding necessary to run to Formula 1 Championship which not only hurt FIA’s credibility but also the dreams of the employs that were hired full of promises and dreams.
Villeneuve maintains a strong rivalry with Michael Schumacher as the German was his main contender for the 1997 championship. Their relationships were extremely tensed after Schumacher tried to hit and force Villeneuve out of the race as that time Schumacher was winning the title only if Villeneuve was not able to finish the race. It will be interestingly to watch how those two will behave – if eventually Villeneuve is one of the drivers. However, the Villeneuve Racing must invest a lot of time, money and hard work in order to reach at least the current level of Sauber because Formula 1 doesn’t need any more Virgins, HRT or Lotus teams.
