Jacques Villeneuve has admitted to being annoyed that his plans for a formula one team were publicly leaked.<\/p>\n
The 1997 world champion is bidding to re-enter the sport as a constructor next year in collaboration with the Italian former GP2 outfit Durango.<\/p>\n
But Germany’s Auto Bild quoted Villeneuve, 39, as indicating he sees it as an unfair advantage that his opponents for the 13th team entry have not been similarly outed.<\/p>\n
It is believed the only other contenders for the grid space are Stefan GP and Epsilon Euskadi.<\/p>\n
But the French Canadian said: “I have no idea who or what we are fighting against.<\/p>\n
“Everything was kept quiet and we were happy with it that way.\u00a0 But someone who is not even part of the project decided to talk about it.\u00a0 That’s pretty annoying.<\/p>\n
“I can’t really say anything, because we don’t have all the facts yet,” added Villeneuve.<\/p>\n
Earlier, he was quoted as saying Epsilon Euskadi’s declaration that it is testing a wind tunnel model of its 2011 car is like “putting the cart before the horse”.<\/p>\n
He also refused to confirm or deny reports that the three 2011 hopefuls have been summoned to an interview later this week with the FIA in Paris.<\/p>\n
But Villeneuve did confirm that he is no longer affiliated with Stefan GP.<\/p>\n
