Jacques Villeneuve has been reported as saying he is struggling to find a decent drive next year. His current BMW contract expires at the end of the 2006 season.

This is actually strange, as his driving this year is as good as he has been since 1997. The BMW/Sauber car has come along quite well under his leadership. He has also been continually out qualifying his team mate all year.

BMW could do worse than offer him a drive for 2007, however it seems there may be other seats going. Renault is probably a bad idea, but other teams on the grid could do worse. It may also be worth some of the lower 'wealthy' teams like Toro Rosso offering the drive, he would be a good development driver for the new car.
