LONDON - Former Formula One (F1) world champion, Jacques Villeneuve's short spell in electric racing has come to an end after he left a team co owned by actor, Leonardo DiCaprio.
As reported BBC, Venturi Formula E team said that they had parted company with the 44 year old Canadian by "mutual agreement" following a "disagreement over the future direction of the team". Villeneuve, F1 champion with Williams in 1997, competed in just two races. Britain's Mike Conway has replaced him.
Villeneuve made his Formula E debut in Beijing last October but retired after a collision. He finished 11th in the next race in Malaysia but was ruled out of the third round in Uruguay after crashing in qualifying. Villeneuve was the first Formula 1 champion to compete in Formula E, a series which features cars quieter than their F1 counterparts racing in city centres.
