The Canadian, who drives for the British American Racing team, is desperate to get back into a winning car. But Villeneuve, who was champion in 1997, said he would never be a number two driver behind his old rival Schumacher. Villeneuve, whose father Gilles drove for Ferrari until his death at the Belgium Grand Prix 20 years ago, has been linked with the Italian team several times in the past. "Every driver wants to be in a winning team and Ferrari are the winning team at the moment," said Villeneuve.
"But it would depend if Michael was still there or not. "I would not join a team if I was going to be told to make way for Michael at some stage. "I could have had team orders imposed in my contract at BAR but I wouldn't do that. At BAR we race against each other." Villeneuve, who is preparing for his home Grand Prix in Montreal, hit out at Schumacher after the German was gifted victory in Austria last month when Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello was ordered to move over for him. Villeneuve is contracted to BAR until the end of next season while Schumacher is contracted to Ferrari until the end of the 2004. | |
