I don't know how Eddie Jordan does it. After binning Jos Verstapen as a driver before the launch of his new car, it is trailed out with Trust logos all over it.

Looks like he has managed to keep B&H (with additional cash with a british driver if he wished), get a fair few million from Trust, and actually employ a couple of decent drivers rather than the pay variety.

Fair play to the bloke

Verstappen is still apparantly in the frame for the 2nd seat stil, from Eddie Jordan himself. So too is Ralph Firman and Alan McNish.

The Jordan also carries the Sponsor "Lazarus", quite apt really.

Jordan has also acquired "O4-04-04" sponsoship relating to the Bahrain GP this year. Matching the Shanghai GP sponsorship it carried last year.

No, let him come home to sportscars where he belongs. A guy with that much talent ought to be in a rac series where he can go up against drivers in cars that don't think for them!

Aparently McNish has sponsorship links to Ford, on top of simply being a British Driver. This must put him well in the frame as, if he can reduce engine rebuild costs etc, and could demand a seat in his own right, then there would only be one choice.

The only problem is Ford's empty pockets at the moment I suppose

Anyone know what Eddie does for a living? He must have a day job of some Kind to justify writing his name on eveything.

Apparantly Jordan F1 are entering a sponsorship deal with Jordan (aka Katie Price).

As part of the cross-licensing deal, both Jordan F1 cars are going to be fitted with twin airbags.

(thankyou)
