Eddie Jordan goes to Japan

EDDIE JORDAN has flown off to Tokyo today for what are believed to be talks with the management of Honda. The Irish team owner is believed to be less than delighted with the performance of the new Honda engine in the first tests this year and wants to find out how things are going to improve in the months ahead.

The initial reports suggest that the Honda V10 is some way off the pace in terms of performance at the moment but the engineers in Japan are working flat out to try to improve the situation.
