Villeneuve to return with Sauber

Former world champion Jacques Villeneuve will return to Formula One with Sauber next season.

The 33-year-old Canadian has agreed a two-year contract with Sauber to replace Giancarlo Fisichella, who is leaving for Renault at the end of the season.

Villeneuve has been out of the sport since leaving BAR with one race of last season remaining, although he may return earlier than expected after Jarno Trulli was sacked by Renault.
