Jordan and Honda
Our sources say that Jordan did the deal for the new engines as long ago as February but that the news was kept secret while Honda decided what to do about its "factory" effort.
Jordan is expected to run the new engines for the first time later this summer and we believe that they will even be raced before the end of the year by Damon Hill and Heinz-Harald Frentzen. This would certainly explain the large amount of time which Jordan technical director Mike Gascoyne has been spending in Japan in recent months.
