Canadian Formula One driver Jacques Villeneuve could return to British American Racing next season, his manager said Friday.

Pollock ruled out a return to the struggling CART series, but said the driver might listen to offers from NASCAR teams .( Yahoo Sports )(7-18-2003), don’t see this happening,it would be a HUGE paycut.
