Formula One: Zonta and Sato head Jordan prospects

Ricardo Zonta and Takuma Sato have emerged as the early frontrunners to replace Heinz-Harald Frentzen following his shock sacking by Jordan yesterday.

Frentzen’s contract was terminated with immediate effect by team boss Eddie Jordan, with the move coming just two days before the 34-year-old was due to begin practice in front of his home fans for the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim.
