As thousands of F1 fans gear up for this weekend's British Grand Prix, the 40-year-old Canadian yesterday said: "I don't watch the races any more. I'm done, for the first time ever.

"I just can't be bothered. Halfway through the race I'm yawning and its really tough... and I just get upset."

Villeneuve, who last drove for BMW-Sauber in 2006 says he now has eyes only for NASCAR.
