The FIA has moved the hearing of Michael Schumacher on November 11 from Paris to London because of the truck drivers strike in France. Michael has to defend himself because he tried to knock out Jacques Villeneuve at the last Grand Prix at Jerez.

Jacques, in the meanwhile, was celebrating his recent World Championship in Canada where 20.000 fans cheered him in Montreal. Jacques is the first Canadian ever to win the world title. His father Gilles Villeneuve scored 6 wins but his best score in the World Championship was a second place in 1979, driving for Ferrari.
