Well, this might have given Jacques a decent excuse

BAR cars impounded by les flics.

Villeneuve might actually do better qualifying on foot.

Damage? What Damage?

From the BBC coverage of BAR'S Friday qualifying:

With drivers Jacques Villeneuve and Jenson Button having missed free practice, Richards is considering a move to counter-sue.
"We will have to quantify the damages caused by missing the session and that will be for the lawyers. "

After today's performance perhaps Jacques should be banned from too much driving pre-qualifying.
