Jordan in talks with "a number of companies"
Jordan Grand Prix has responded to our story that Benson & Hedges will not be the team's title sponsor next year by saying that "the FIA requested to have the teams' entries at a time when Jordan is still in discussion with a number of companies, including B & H, about the level of their sponsorship for 2002".
This does not really make anything any clearer although the implication is that Jordan may eventually name a title sponsor, which may or may not be Benson & Hedges.
