Jacques Villeneuve is looking to put last weekend's incident in Monaco behind him now as he returns to the Nurburgring, which holds happier memories for him, for the European Grand Prix. "I have a lot of good memories from the Nurburgring – I scored my first and last Grand Prix victories there!" said Villeneuve. "But I have to say that it isn’t my favourite circuit. It has some very exciting corners, but the first section is really annoying. It’s slow and it just isn’t fun, and it spoils driving there for me. For some reason I’ve always had a hard time in qualifying on this track, but things have worked out for me in the race. If we can run the right Michelin tyres there this year, I think that should help us out to have a good race."
