Oh dear the misinformation machine again.
Jv will 'test' a Renualt today and tomorrow at Silverstone.
The aim is to get him to drive instead of Tulli who has effectivley been 'sacked' by renault in advance of his move to Toyota.
So somebodyelse will drive the Renault in the next race and its perhaps JV. Afterall he did win a World Championship for them, way back when. We'll see if his tests are successful, if not then he won't race.
As for Damon...one little question to those nay sayers, who was the Williams test driver who actuallly did the majority of the development work to get the 'best' car? One Damon Hill. Yes that's right the one who challenged MS for the title and then won it did so in a car that he was the primary test driver for.
He was not the best race driver for sure as his efforts in traffic showned, but he sure as s##t was one of the best drivers out there, he worked damn hard at getting a very very fast car to the front of the grid and was fairly handy at keeping it there.
JV benefitted in 97 from the work Damon did in 96 on the 97 car and was brilliant enough to win in 97. JV is one of the great 'race drivers' but not nearly as interested in testing and development.
