Villeneuve to accept ’07 pay-cut

(GMM) Jacques Villeneuve has indicated that he might be prepared to take a pay-cut in order to prolong his career in F1.

''I am fast, experienced and not expensive,'' said the French Canadian, who has impressed so far in 2006 but is not guaranteed a new contract at BMW-Sauber.

35-year-old Villeneuve, who in 1997 won the world championship but suffered a decline in reputation in intervening years, told 'Auto Bild Motorsport' that he would look elsewhere if not given the nod by his current team.

But, even though a multi-millionaire, he ruled out driving for nothing.

Jacques insisted: ''I am 35, married and soon to be a father. I would rather stay at home than leave my family while I do all this traveling, all these tests and obligations for no money.''
