Peter Sauber and Jacques Villeneuve

Peter Sauber is not a man who gives away his intentions to all and sundry. However he does enjoy a very close relationship with Roger Benoit, the Formula 1 reporter of Switzerland's Blick newspaper. The two men are often to be found sitting together, puffing on cigars and discussing the F1 world in Swiss-German. It is not surprising that Blick often breaks stories about goings-on at Sauber. In a recent edition of Blick, Peter Sauber is quoted as saying that Jacques Villeneuve would drive for the Sauber team at the San Marino Grand Prix on April 24. Apparently, however, he refused to comment when asked about the Spanish Grand Prix two weeks later.
