Villeneuve to miss Hungary

BMW Sauber test driver Robert Kubica will become the first Pole to contest a Formula One Grand Prix next weekend when he stands in for Jacques Villeneuve at the Hungaroring. Villeneuve has opted to miss the race following his crash in last Sunday’s German round.

"Jacques has informed us that he is not ready to race after his Hockenheim accident,” confirmed BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen. “Robert has made an outstanding impression with the team so far, both in testing and on the Friday of the race weekends. Now we will see how he performs in a Formula One race.”

Kubica, 21, is looking forward to the new challenge: "I had prepared myself for a whole year without actually competing in any races, so I'm even happier to get this opportunity. And I'm proud that the BMW Sauber F1 Team has such confidence in me. I'm determined not to let them down."

BMW Sauber said they have not yet made a decision on who will drive the car either in the remaining races of the season or next year.

Why does Villeneuve even bother to race anymore?
He's not a very good driver, his fan base decreased considerably, and most important is that he lost the passion for F1.

I think that it is time that he leaves this sport.

Even though Heidfeld is a head of him in the points I think he has done a better job then "quick Nick".
