Ford wait in wings for Jordan

Declan Colley reports on the reinvention of a major player in Grand Prix

FORD is almost certain to come to the rescue of the Jordan Grand Prix team when, as expected, Honda pull the plug on their association with the Irish outfit.

An announcement of the new tie-up is expected at the Hungarian Grand Prix in two weeks, but the deal has come as a surprise to many F1 insiders as it will put the Blue Oval in direct competition with its subsidiary Jaguar, which already runs its own Grand Prix team.
