Sauber silent over JV future

Don't ask F1 principal Peter Sauber if Jacques Villeneuve's position at the team is 'safe.' You'll just get an answer like this: "That's not the point," he told Britain's Autosport magazine. "It's not something I'm going to talk about. Jacques' performance in Malaysia was improved."

Sauber is sure that Villeneuve, the French-Canadian and 1997 world champion, will 'understand the (C24) car better' when it has more grip. At any rate, JV, 33, is looking forward to the Bahrain GP. "I've not been there before," said the former BAR man who skipped most of last season. It must be strange racing in the middle of the desert."
