Jacques wants to set the point


The right decision?

Renault F1 driver Jacques Villeneuve is looking ahead at his last race for the team at Brazil. After struggling in the first two races for the Anglo French squad the Canadian is looking forward to pay the faith the team has put on him with good deserved points. Jacques Villeneuve requested the team to test at Jerez after he recognised to be out of shape for racing:

"Suzuka was a tough race for me so the team altered the testing schedule to allow me to run at last week's test in Jerez. The aim for that session was to get to know the car better and explore different set-ups but to also to get some more time to help with my physical conditioning. We didn't do as many miles as we would have liked, but it was important to get more experience with the R24. Hopefully, it will enable me to run more competitively in my last race for the team in Brazil." He said.

Next stop is Interlagos, a track were the R24 should be in a more competitive pace:

"I enjoy Interlagos - it is a tricky, challenging circuit, where we run the cars quite light on downforce, which means they can be delicate to drive over the bumps and through the middle sector of the circuit. It is also tough physically, so my run in the car at Jerez will be important preparation. In terms of results, I want to end my time at Renault with a good performance after two hard races and bring something back to the team. I definitely want to finish in the points." He added.
