JACQUES Villeneuve believes Formula One may never recover from the damage inflicted by the Indianapolis farce two weeks ago.

Villeneuve, who made his name in the United States and won the Indianapolis 500 in 1995, fears Formula OneOs image has been irreparably tainted by the six-car parade which followed the mass retirement of seven teams on the warm-up lap.

World governing body the FIA have promised to treat the seven teams leniently if Michelin act to repair the damage done by their failings.

The French company have already promised to refund the 120,000 fans at Indianapolis on race day and plan to give out 20,000 free tickets for the 2006 event.

But former world champion Villeneuve doubts that show of goodwill will be enough to appease American fans, whose interest in Formula One was lukewarm even before the Indianapolis fiasco.

Asked about the plan to give out some free tickets next season, the Sauber driver responded sarcastically: OThere might be 20,000 fans next year then.O
