"As constructors, we at Mercedes would need to think long and hard before adding another customer to our list," he said. Jacques Villeneuve believes McLaren will have a strong race in Montreal this weekend. The 1997 world champion will be at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, the layout of which is named after his late and revered father.
