Hey thor, I guess i like correcting u or something but once again i got something to say. Ok for one Arrows went under! They may never come back into F1 and if they do they arent going to have the backing to pay Villenueve those high dollars! But that does raise questions for what the hell he's thinking though. There has got to be a really good reason to turn down a three year 50 mil. dollar check. Maybe he could be eyeing a seat at Ferrari, Williams, or McLaren, knowing that seats will be opening in the next year or two, with Micheal due to retire in the next year or so as well as Rubens and Coulthard. Ralf i would expect will be relieved of his duties at Williams before too long with his poor performance. Raikonnen and Montoya however seem to be on the rise and will be at the top places in their teams pretty soon. That leaves Villenueve plenty of seats in about two years. So that means either Villenueve doesn't want to race for another three years or he doesnt want to be bound to a contract saying he will be with BAR when that Ferrari seat opens.
