The Germans disappear

The German newsagency DPA is reporting this morning that Oliver Behring, the man who was going to invest in the Arrows F1 with his German Grand Prix Racing GmbH company, has told them that the contract with the team has been cancelled.

Behring was surprised when Arrows did not receive an entry for the 2003 FIA Formula 1 World Championship. He had previously said that he had been told that an entry had been organised and that there was "a 99.95% chance" that the team would be present at the first race of 2003.
