No Verstappen deal at Jordan

Eddie Jordan says that Jos Verstappen will not be back with the team this year, despite the fact that Jordan has now concluded a bigger deal with Verstappen's sponsor Trust. It seems that the talks that took place were related to clauses in the contract between Jos and Trust which restricted what the computer company could do with any other drivers.

"I have made my choice with the drivers I have, and that's what the contracts say and that's what will continue," said Jordan. "There could be a testing agreement with somebody, there could be a big team needs a driver."
