Q: Jacques, any developments on your situation for next year?

Jacques VILLENEUVE: No development has ever been needed for next year so what do you want me to say? The same contract that was signed last year is still in place, so no, there is no development.

Q: Some people say that you signed a contract with Sauber and now it’s become BMW; what do you say about that?

JV: That it is still the same company. Sauber didn’t go bankrupt.

Q: Interesting to hear your comments about 1) the circuit and 2) China. Can you expand on those?

JV: The circuit is fun to drive. It’s interesting. It’s not easy to get right, different to most tracks that we have. There are some good overtaking opportunities. It’s fun.

Q: But you say that the stress of life in China is somewhat wearing…

JV: Yes, it is a little bit stressful, which is probably fun when you’re here on holiday, but for racing it can make life a bit difficult. If you’re staying in town, it can take an hour and a half to come to the track. We’re not doing that this year.
