The new promoter of the Canadian Grand Prix says he will do all he can to help Jacques Villeneuve return to Formula One next year because it would be good for the event.
Canadian former world champion Villeneuve, who has not raced in Formula One since 2006, has been linked with the new Malaysian-owned Lotus team.
Francois Dumontier, whose company Octane Racing Group is the new promoter of the reinstated Canadian Grand Prix, admitted that having Villeneuve back would increase the interest in his event.
”I can’t deny that if Jacques is back in a Formula One car it will help the Grand Prix," he told the National Post. “People here love him.
“We saw how popular he is when he raced NASCAR here. I would be fan number one if Jacques is back in a Lotus car and if we can help him, that’s what we’ll do.”
