When his race ended after just twelve laps last week, former World Champion Jacques Villeneuve was clearly not a happy man, and made his feelings about the BAR's reliability clear to everyone who would listen.

As the F1 circus heads to Austria, and the A1-Ring, a track the French-Canadian really likes, Jacques says that it's time to make a decision:

"If we continue to have reliability issues like we have been experiencing in past races, then we will have to make a decision on whether we just want to make the most out of qualifying and qualify on low fuel or continue to concentrate on race strategy throughout the weekend and give it our best shot on Sunday.

"Hopefully we are in a position to not only finish the race," he adds, "but to get some points!

"Although it's been difficult to accept all the problems we have been experiencing on the car," he continues, "I am really looking forward to the race. I enjoy racing at the A1-Ring. The layout of the track is really good and it has a nice rhythm. It's a good track for overtaking.

The Austrian GP is a fun race to watch and a fun race to drive," he adds, "last year I really enjoyed the race up until my car broke down just before the end."
