Frentzen and Arrows
This is bad news for Jos Verstappen, the Arrows team having confirmed Enrique Bernoldi only a few days ago. Verstappen was announced as an Arrows driver in the middle of last summer but it seems that he will be considered expendable if Frentzen is on the market. Theoretically a team cannot break a contract these days if the document is lodged with the FIA Contract Recognition Board but everyone in F1 knows that if a team tells a driver to go away and he is not protected with a contract which forces the team to provide him with a car, there is not much point in trying to argue.
