VW thought to be talking to
Jordan F1 team

VOLKSWAGEN's participation in Formula 1 racing may have come a step closer. Sources have suggested to AutoWired that the manufacturer has held talks with the UK Jordan team.

Currently, Jordan gets its engines from Honda. But that arrangement could be further down the grid next season as Honda is believed to have told Jordan that next season it only gets one of its teams kited-out for free.

That may be an opening for Volkswagen, whose new chief designate, Bernd Pischetsrieder, is known to have a leaning towards seeing Volkswagen involved in the sport.

But at a Volkswagen works council meeting, earlier this month, it was concluded that Pischetsrieder has no intention of involving the company in the circuit. What on earth would Murray Walker make of it all?
