Jordan drop Dallara

Just five days after announcing the departure of technical director Trevor Carlin, the troubled Jordan team have now revealed that their 2006 car will not be manufactured by Dallara, but be built in-house. Although team owner Alex Shnaider threw a lavish party at his adopted homeland Canada last week in celebration of his team competing in his ‘home’ race, signs are mixed as to how serious he is about rebranding the team as Midland F1 for 2006.
