Jacques Villeneuve's decision to withdraw from the final race of the 2003 season following his team's announcement of replacing him next year with Takuma Sato have left all his fans and friends confused and suspicious. Surely the Canadian would not have chosen to leave this way? It was a painful end to what has been a dream shared by Villeneuve and a few close friends. One of those closest to the former World Champion is his race engineer Jock Clear, who endured a difficult and confusing weekend at Suzuka and is still feeling the pain of a plan gone wrong.
