Jacques Villeneuve is set to join the BBC's Radio 5 Live commentary team for the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The 1997 Formula 1 world champion, who has been disappointed in recent weeks after his plans to return to F1 this year with Stefan GP collapsed when the team was not granted a last-minute 2010 entry, will move into the commentary box for the first race of the season.

The incumbent Radio 5 Live team consists of David Croft and ex-Honda driver Anthony Davidson. Davidson is scheduled to race a Peugeot in the American Le Mans Series opener at Sebring the following weekend, and is expected to begin testing ahead of the event on Monday.

OT question:

Can I listen to the radio commentary online if I live outside of the UK?

Get him on the TV! He'll be brilliant - perhaps as awesome as Alan Jones was back in '95!

Awww when I read that I thought he was going to be on TV. That would be fantastic, he's hardly known for keeping his opinions to himself!

Don't forget that you don't need a radio. During the race press the red button and you can change to the radio commentary.
