Kubica not sorry about Villeneuve absence

Robert Kubica says he is not nervous about racing in Montreal this year, after taking Canadian favourite Jacques Villeneuve’s seat at BMW-Sauber.

Former world champion Villeneuve split with BMW last season mere weeks after competing at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, which is named in honour of his late and legendary father.

But although the separation was in ex-tester Kubica’s favour, the rookie Pole refused to treat the subject carefully in conversation with the Canadian newspaper National Post ahead of his return to Montreal in 2007.
