Villeneuve to continue at BMW Sauber

FORMER world champion Jacques Villeneuve will continue racing for the Sauber team, taken over by BMW in June, next season.

The Canadian, who won the world title with Williams in 1997, joined the Swiss Sauber team on a two-year contract at the start of 2005 but his position was unclear after BMW bought out the team.

“We are in no doubt that Jacques will make the BMW Sauber F1 Team stronger,” said BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen on Thursday.
