Salo to join Tom?
Salo, however, may consider the offer from Walkinshaw to be a better deal as he will be undisputed number one in the team and will have a John Barnard designed chassis and Bridgestone tires. The only weak point in the Arrows package is the engine and there is still a possibility that Walkinshaw might shock the whole of F1 by getting his hands on a supply of Mecachrome V10 engines. This is unlikely but there is no doubt that Tom is still chasing after the deal. If it fails he appears to have a parallel policy of using the new Brian Hart V10 engine badged as a Yamaha.
