I found some good collection of Villeneuve racing videos at YouTube.
Check out some of the fantastic stuff there. The Villeneuve name was what first got me into F1 in the late 70s, when Gilles was wow-ing the F1 world with his daring driving.
His son Jacques came into F1 and almost won on his debut and clinched the world title in his second year in F1.

I must say that after 6 rounds of the F1 season, it is looking like another championship for Fernando Alonso. The scoreboard is 3 wins for Alonso, 2 for Schumi and 1 for Fisico. Alonso also leads the championship and Schumi can only hope that the realible Renaults would fail once or twice for him to catch up.
Unlike last year, Schumi's position (compared to Kimi's last year) is a little more predictable. Kimi's 2005 run during the first half was beset by reliability woes. Schumi's challenge to Alonso so far is looking reliable if not strong.
A few days ago I read with great happiness that BMW Sauber F1 has confirmed 1997 World F1 Champion, Jacques Villeneuve as their driver alongside Nick Heidfeld.
The thing about Jacques is that his is a career that promised so much so early on, yet failed to deliver due to bad career choices at BAR which in my mind basically drained him of the hunger that so propelled him to second in his rookie year and world champ in the following year.
