JV is old...admit it.
He came in third because other teams fell out, just like irvine, when he came in third cuz benz and beemer were all outta the race.
JV is passed his prime, JV, Irvine, Panis, Fisichella should all leave F1 and make room for younger, and hungrier drivers.
Toyota has got it right. They were getting no results with mcnish or salo and they let them go.
Why would anyone pay 20 million a year to JV, who all ready won a world championship. doesn't make sense. It makes sense to pay Montoya 20 million a year because he HAS NOT won a championship. Simply put he's still hungry versus JV.
I liked villeneuve and followed him in the early and mid 90's his days are done NOW.
