Jacques Villeneuve is full of excitement for this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix as the 2005 season draws to a close. Villeneve explains why he enjoys racing at Suzuka so much.

Jacques Villeneuve:

"In general Suzuka is an amazing track. It is one of the most beautiful that we have on the Grand Prix calendar. I don’t really like the chicane and the hairpin is not fun, but it’s okay and it’s logical. Otherwise the circuit is quite technical, very challenging and there are a lot of difficult and demanding high-speed corners. It is difficult to get a rhythm but when you do a good lap at Suzuka it feels really, really good. Out of all the tracks we currently race on, Suzuka is one of my personal favourites. I like racing in Japan, and since it’s one of the last races of the year this always adds to the excitement."
