Durand and Jordan
Durand has been with Prost Grand Prix for the last year and led the design team of the Prost AP05. Durand has been looking for work since Prost closed its doors and is well-placed to bring Jordan a number of other engineers from the Prost design team. Jordan has lost a lot of staff in recent months, notably to Renault Sport.
Among those who might join Jordan if Durand is hired are Jean-Paul Gousset, the Prost chief designer, and the head of composites Ian Thomson.
