“He doesn’t give a shit, You can imagine him saying, ‘Okay, I’m done with F1, bye’ for no reason.” – Mr Villeneuve has made his pronouncement on Kimi saying that he thinks Massa is more likely to be team leader. You can read all about it here.

The thing is that Jacques is a friend of Massa’s so he’s probably slightly biased. And, although I can’t find it I seem to remember him saying something very similar when Montoya came to McLaren about how Kimi should get ready to see what a real driver was like. At the time I seem to remember thinking that it was less about bigging up Montoya and more about annoying Kimi and especially Coulthard.

But it might all have a lot more these days to do with making sure he gets in the press on what is the launch day of his début album “Private Paradise”.
