I noticed on a recent testing picture that the Jordan pit crew are having to tape over various sponsors on their pit suits, in particular the end of "Powered by" as I imagine it still says Ford. It struck me as bizare really, are they that sort on cash that they can't afford new suits? Then I noticed they seem to have peeled off "Benson & Hedges" from their rear wing.. again.. bizare. Either that or it's intentionally there as some sort of place holder for the real stickers.
Did they still have their B&H sponsorship?
Maybe there 2005 suits are still being made or something. The team just seems to be rather lacking at the moment.

Did it occur to you that maybe Jordan would have gone bust without the Midland investment hence nothing was ordered?

Maybe the people that make black masking tape is one of their new sponsors and you just don't get it!

I'm sure they'll have a better solution for their Moscow 'launch' on Friday.

It is even worse than that...new aero-rules does not mean new rear-wings for Jordan...you see the B&H-heritage shades on this plane...

No, the tape is the F1 technology massively used by Russia scientists working on the car. They have that 5 year plan...

In a way, Galagher are paying a small amount to have Sobraine on there (as it was for some rounds last year) but it follows the trend of less exposure than previous years.

Maybe they've been taking style tips from Lauda?
