BMW WilliamsF1 technical director, Patrick Head has refused to rule out testing 1997 F1 world ch🔯ampion, Jacques Villeneu꧙ve, who was dumped at the end of last season by BAR-Honda.

Sp🏅eaking yesterday, 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 Canadian could test for the outfit. "I can't and won't make🍸 anౠy comment on it."

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

♛"I was rung up after Barc💃elona 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 d❀id buzz upstairs and asked Frank [Williams] whether he ha⛎d set something up and hadn't told me about it, but he also denied all knowledge."

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

"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 Pizzo🍒nia, 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 d꧅ifficult 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 fine driver and deserves strong consideration."
