Villeneuve needs to up pace
Sauber disappointed about ex champ

(GMM) The fledgling Sauber and Jacques Villeneuve-pairing is on the road to disaster, if the Australian grand prix is any indication.

In his first race for the team, the Canadian and '97 champion lapped well off teammate Felipe Massa's pace, dropping five places on the first lap alone.

''I'd rather not comment,'' said a clearly disappointed Peter Sauber.

He added: ''Villeneuve isn't saying much.

''In certain phases of the race he had some problems -- and that's all he's told us.''

Still, the Swiss team's owner admitted that the time difference between Massa and 33-year-old JV at Albert Park was 'big.'
