| DRIVERS STANDING |
09-25-2004 (GMM - Shanghai) For the first time in a full calendar year, Jacques Villeneuve felt like he had come 'home' when he took the wheel of a Formula One car at Shanghai. The '97 champion had not driven a grand prix contender, in competitive anger, since last year's United States Grand Prix, the event before he quit Brackley team BAR. ''(Renault) have made it easy for me to come back,'' said the 33-year-old in Shanghai. ''They've made me comfortable and under no pressure -- just down to work.'' Villeneuve is on the pace of highly-rated team-mate Fernando Alonso, even if - unlike JV - the Spaniard has driven the R24 in the preceding fifteen grands prix. ''That's always a good sign,'' said Jacques, ''but it has taken a while to get there. ''I can use Fernando's benchmark and work from that.'' Villeneuve said he felt no physical effects 'at all' of the 12-month cockpit absence after a 45-lap programme on Friday. |
