Hi VKD,

Wiliams r still have to decide on who is their second driver ... They r not declaring whom they approach after Button fiasco ... As u know Mark Webber is their first driver and with second they can produce surprise.

Jaguar looking for a new owner and Jordan hunting for an alternative V10 supply... November 15 deadline for 2005 championship entries looming on them ... Jaguar spokesman told British newspaper The Guardian that the deadline for any deal has now been extended by 10 days until November 9, just a week before a 2005 entry must be lodged ... Jordan, meanwhile, have been closely linked to an engine deal with Toyota.

Justin Wilson seems to have given up his Formula 1 ambitions for the time being and is hoping to continue his career in the United States next year in Champ Car series, where he missed Rookie of the Year award of 2004 ... Wilson is working with Eric Bachelart's Mi-Jack Conquest Racing in the Champ Car series.

After a second successive disappointing season, 2004 may well prove to be a swansong for David Coulthard ... David concluded an historic 150 grand prix stint for McLaren-Mercedes in Brazil, but he is desperate to prolong his F1 career elsewhere in 2005.

this is the driver line up so far :

Ferrari M. Schumacher R. Barrichello
McLaren K. Raikkonen J.P. Montoya
Williams M. Webber ??
BAR J. Button T. Sato (contract negociations)
Renault F. Alonso G. Fisichella
Toyota R. Schumacher J. Trulli
Sabur J. Villenuve F. Massa
Jaguar*
Jordan**
Minardi

*Jaguar are looking for a buyer
**Jordan are negociating with 3 engine suppliers

[Red_Indian]

Williams look screwed with the Button deal falling through - BAR might consolidate their position as the second best team in F1. McLaren, inspite of having 2 of the three most talented drivers outside Schumi (Button 3rd) will contniue to struggle if they don't come up with a significantly better car.

Joran have found an engine supplier and will be in the 2005 season with ATI Technologies ... more info on http://www.f1jordan.com/

"We haven't submitted it (the entry) yet but we will definetly do so before Monday's deadline.", said a team spokewoman.

Now about Jaguar ... According to the Financial Times, the Jaguars will be sportings wing by Monday, Red Bull Wings.

The highly respected newspaper quotes a team 'insider' as saying: "We've accepted the offer, exchanged contracts - all we have to do now is hand over the keys."

If true, the deal will alllow the team to register its entry in 2005 championship on Monday, therby meeting the deadline.

Officially, however, nothing has been announced by any of the parties (Red Bull and Jaguar) involved.
