BRM thanks Jacques Villeneuve for his services these last 2 seasons. He's been a great asset to the team, achieving 5 wins, several podium finishes, and finishing runner-up in the championship in 2000. We wish him all the best for his future F1 career.
At the same time we'd like to welcome Michael Schumacher to our team. He certainly is one of the most skilled drivers in F1 at the current time, and it's a great deal having him drive for us. Together with JPM we should now have the best pairing in the grid, hopefully allowing us to launch an attack on both titles.
