Formula One drivers in the past have been known to have certain clauses in their contracts forbidding them to take part in any dangerous sports which may affect their chances of competing for their respective teams.
It is still unclear whether the Williams team will impose any restrictions on Villeneuve's love of Skiing, it was while Jacques was at his Swiss boarding school that he met Craig Pollock, then his Ski instructor now his manager and the Managing Director of the newly formed BAR Tyrrell Team.
