Jacques Villeneuve ran one race for Arrows (not for williams as shown here) and afterwards decided to retire basically during the season. Has anyone ever seen this? He was also 34 at this point, which is not very old in this game.

As far I'm aware, "retiring", per se, is not a thing. It seems to be bugged, and it really doesn't do anything than the driver not racing for "the rest of the season". You can re-sign them for next season and they will race...probably, I think.
Which is a shame, because you end up having some drivers, by game standars, racing all the way up to ±50 years old aprox, if given the actual chance. ^^;
Like, you'd have an Alonso driving all over 53 years old if you were to play in a possible 2024 mod from season 1 to its last...which is not far from reality, but nevertheless-drivers' abilities and such would end up all 1★ and simply worthless to sign. :/

I think what's happened is that Arrows didn't have two drivers signed at the start of the season, so Jacques Villeneuve got signed to a one-race contract to fill one of the seats. You can have this happen to your own team if you're not careful when the season changes, but I haven't really seen this happen to AI teams.
"Retired" just means the driver doesn't have a seat at the moment. I checked and Villeneuve is not using the driver slot that gives false "retirement" news stories every year. It seems that EdCom never really finished the retirement mechanic, as there's also the very rare possibility of drivers being injured "pemanently" only to be available again the next season.
