After a restful summer break and training, Jacques Villeneuve finds himself eagerly awaiting the challenge of racing the inaugural Turkish Grand Prix.

Jacques Villeneuve:

"I can’t really say much about the circuit in Turkey because I’ve never been there. However, it’s always very exciting to go racing in a new country. Jenson, who visited the track earlier this year, told me that the layout of the track is absolutely fantastic so I am really looking forward to trying it out. The weather should be really hot but during the break I have been training for these conditions so I am not too worried about that. I think that we should be able to do well in this race, especially as nobody has run here before.

"I also hope that I will be able to find a moment to visit the city because I keep hearing that the place is buzzing."
