Now Villeneuve criticises beavers

After lambasting Lewis Hamilton, Jacques Villeneuve has now turned his ire on the antics of the beavers living at the Canadian GP circuit.

The beavers, some of whom have set up home at turn 15, location of the so-called ’Wall of Champions’, are believed to be in the process of building a dam, made from the nibbled remains of F1 packing crates.

Villeneuve said today: “Everybody seems to think that what the beavers are doing is acceptable but I don’t think it is, and I’m amazed the FIA don’t take any action.”

He went on: “If I had behaved like this when I was in F1 then I would have been black-flagged – it’s one rule for the beaver and one for the rest of us.” (I would give all I've got only to see him black-flagged for "behaving like a beaver" on racetrack. I can't imagine him out of the car trying to build a dam from marbles... )

A spokesman for the beavers retorted: “Jacques always has too much to say. This is just water off our backs, so to speak.”

He's no longer in F1, but he's still one hell of a funny guy!

Oh, it's a joke... when I read topic title it sounded like a title of xxx rated movie - "JV and the beavers"

Sorry manchild, it isn't... Although it could have been funny too, to some degree...

But I hijack my own thread for a breaking news: Toyota's front suspention saboteur have been shot "hand in the bag" by a photograph:

I was also

wondering whether ol'Jacques had made forays into adult entertainment

... the joke is that much funnier since the motorsport journalist that penned it clearly missed some biology lessons (no big surprise there). Those creatures aren't beavers by any stretch of imagination - they're some kind of marmots, propably a subspecies generally known as groundhog. As if anyone (but me and a couple of other freaks) really cared.

The "suspect" (on the loft) doesn't look like a beaver to me

I found it amusing... Now I'm waiting for the jokes on Hamilton. Something like "a rabbi, a priest and a steel drum player enter a pub to watch the F1 race. To their surprise, Lewis Hamilton is drinking at the bar, and the rabbi says..."

The saga continues:

Attack of the Beavers, part III

from http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/59648

Anthony Davidson - 11th: "It is such a shame about the beaver. It had it in for me for sure! I was running in third place at the time, behind the safety car. I was on a clear, one stop strategy and it damaged the front wing. I couldn't even see it at high speed and I could not understand why suddenly I locked up the front tyres and so I had to come in to the pitlane.

"The guys were taken by surprise in the garage when I came in, but they were really on it with the race strategy after that, telling me to overtake the safety car to get my lap back and it was a really enjoyable race at the end. I hope Kubica is okay because I saw the accident from the other side of the road.

"The race was complete carnage(Well, if you ask the beaver...) from the word go and I'm just happy to have made it to the end. I equalled my best result and it is great news for the team who did a great job today. I was out there on the option tyre, realised there was lots of graining and reported it to the team.

"I came in under the safety car to change the tyres and before Taku had even done any fast laps they knew to change the tyres back to the prime and the tyres paid off. It was really good team work so I am extremely happy."

Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal: "It has been a perfect day. Our team, and Taku, achieved another three points - it's incredible what they have done today. Anthony also did a very, very good job, but it's unlucky that during the race he hit an animal and this damaged his car. The whole team did great job today and I am very proud of them."

Oh no, I just

realized what next year's Montreal GP will look like ... let's just say that a whole another kind of beavers are going to come to the rescue! (Though the animals are GROUNDHOGS, I keep telling ya!)

Call it "Attack of the beavers, Pt. IV" ...
