BMW had enough?
New that Jacques Villeneuve will not be racing at Hungaroring has surfaced. BMW Sauber have announced that instead of the Canadian Poland's Robert Kubica will instead pilot the car.
The seat is taken for just one race for now, as Villeneuve has said he is not ready to race after his accident in Germany.
Mario Theissen has said that Robert may take the seat for more than one race.
This means that either Villeneuve is more injured than it looked he was, or that BMW are trying to work out what drivers they will run next year, and are checking if the F1 newbie is ready for the race seat after testing all year.
The strange thing is however, Jacques and BMW did not get off to a good start when the German car giant took over the Sauber team, looking at options to unseat the Canadian from the 2006 drivers seat, but Jacques has proved he is worthy of the race place, out performing his team mate, and seeming to get along well with the team around him.
We will wait on the teams driver announcement towards the end of the year.
