BUDAPEST, Aug 7 (Reuters) - BMW Sauber have parted company with Canadian Jacques Villeneuve, the Formula One team announced on Monday.
The team said in a statement after the weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix that the 1997 world champion would not be driving for them again this season.
"Following discussions last week, Jacques Villeneuve and the BMW Sauber F1 team agreed to terminate their current contract with immediate effect five races ahead of schedule," the statement said.

Not a surprise at all. IMO Villeneuve did a decent job, matching and sometimes surpassing Nick's performances. The only reason why he is fired is because BMW didn't want him in the 1st place, got nothing to do with his performance through out this season so far.

I said fire Ville yesterday in another thread here at GCZ. Does BMW Sauber have a spy here on GCZ?
