BMW WilliamsF1 technical director, Patrick Hea༒d has refused to rule out testing 1997 F1 world champion, Jacques Villeneuve, who was dumped at theꦆ end of last season by BAR-Honda.

Speaking yest🌊erday, Head admitted that a test could be 'possible in the future' and that the two have meet for 'discussions'.

"All is possible in the future," he replied, when asked if the C♐anadian could test for the outfit. "I can't and won't make any comment on it."

Responding to stories in the media last week, which indicated that Villeneuve would test at Paul Ricard, Head added: "I wish our engineers were as creativ⛦e as the press really!

"I was rung up after Barcelona saying that they understood Jacques Villeneuve was at Ricard and was going to be driving 🃏one of our cars there. It was certainly the first I ๊knew about it.

"I did buzz upstairs and asked ꦏFrank [Williams] whether he๊ had set something up and hadn't told me about it, but he also denied all knowledge."

As for other potential drivers for 2005 Head admitted that there were a number of possibilitﷺies, including BAR third driver, Anthony Davidson, who was second quickest yesterday in practice.

"There's no doubt about it, he's a very fine driver," said Head. "Without having seen... to actually have had the opportunity of actually working with him... yes, one can view the lap times and clearly there's no doubt about his speed but equally, our test drivers, Marc Gene and Antonio Pizzonia, when they're testing they produce lap times to the exact same level and sometimes quicker than the two race drivers, so it's actually quite difficult to take somebody out of a testing position and ask 'are they going to perform well in a racing position?' But clearly Anthony Davidson is a very 𓂃fine driver and deserves strong consideration."
