The Arrows team signed a contract with Renault which will allow them to use new engines. They still have a contract with 'Supertec' but the 97' engine is way too old.

British newspapers say that his time for the Benetton team is running out. But after the last tests in Jerez (Spain) Wurz can take it all a little easier after testing 3 days and running fastest throughout those days.

After the last two results - that were really disappointing - Ferrari has to win the Grand Prix of Europe in Germany. During the last weeks Michael Schumacher lost many points to Mika Hakkinen. (look at ranking above)

That is the question Heinz-Harald Frentzen (HHF) has to ask himself right now. The Jordan team seems to have a tough time without a new engine-contract and Mike Gascoyne, the chief-constructor, who will leave the team at the end of the season. HHF has to decide what he is going to do next season!
