Lucky Strike BAR Honda star Jacques Villeneuve has revealed that he would be willing to drive alongside Michael Schumacher at Ferrari, though on equal terms. "I didn't say I wouldn't drive with Michael Schumacher," said the Canadian today. "I said I wouldn't drive in Rubens' position, and that is different, he added. "That would not suit me.

"But you can always have a team, like McLaren," the 1997 world Champion continued, "they don't have a number two and a number one, they have two number ones and that works out fine and it is the same at Williams.

Meanwhile the Canadian dismissed the idea of a head to head in 'equal' equipment.

The Canadian was reminded of the gold tournament between Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods, called 'the battle of Bighorn', it was a made for TV prime-time event where the two supposed best golfers in the world squared off. Would something like that interest the BAR star?

"You can't work on that because the same car will suit a driver better than another," he replied, "especially if you don't have time to work on it.

"So if you just jump in it and you are lucky and it suits you, you will end up winning. So that type of thing is great for TV viewers and everybody thinks they know the truth but it is only perception, it is not reality."
