No testing for Damon
The team is planning to test in December with a Jordan 197 modified to the 1998 regulations and fitted with a new Mugen Honda V10 engine. The Japanese engine builder is very keen that the new engine be given plenty of testing miles so it will be reliable when the new season begins in March.
With Ralf Schumacher currently doing his military service in Germany and Hill unable to test, Jordan is expected to use either its test driver Ricardo Zonta or Andrew Gilbert-Scott who often does tests for the team when the other drivers are not available.
