There have been a number of stories circulating in Monza about F1 people who are stuck in New York.

THERE have been a number of stories circulating in Monza about F1 people who are stuck in New York. There were suggestions on Thursday that Eddie Jordan was one of them but it seems that Jordan missed the F1 team owners meeting because he was busy shopping in Milan - a curious thing to be doing in the circumstances.

However it has been confirmed that Jacques Villeneuve's race engineer Jock Clear is stuck in New York City after the ban on all flying in the United States. Clear went to New York for a weekend off between races and found himself stuck there after Tuesday's terrorist attacks. Clear hopes to be able to get to Monza in time for Saturday practice.
