Jacques is engaged!

JACQUES VILLENEUVE has confirmed that he is engaged to his latest girlfriend Elly Green. The 30-year-old Canadian racer has been having a poor year with British American Racing, culminating in a dreadful United States GP last weekend at Indianapolis.

Villeneuve, who won the World Championship in 1997 when he was driving for the Rothmans Williams Renault team is expected to stay at BAR next year.
