Did anybody catch the pre-qualifying interview between Louise Goodman and Jacques Villeneuve? Louise asked him if there had been anyone, since he had left F1, who had particularly grabbed his attention as being pretty special or otherwise worthy of his interest. Clearly this was a (very) thinly veiled attempt to get Jacques to shower praise on Lewis Hamilton, so congratulations to Villeneuve for absolutely failing to bite:

JV: I was surprised last year by Felipe [Massa], he was very impressive. Kimi [Raikkonen], too, he impressed me as well. And Fernando [Alonso] did a great job.

*JV grins inanely*

The ITV spin doctors must have been doing their nut! <clap>

<roflmao>

This being one of those occasions where JV's outspoken-ness is a good thing; at least from the point of view of the typical F1 fan in the UK who's bored of the constant Hamilton hype.
