Germans In Silly Season Rumours

Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Ralf Schumacher have both featured in the latest round of transfer stories, with the latter rumoured to be on his way out of the Jordan team.


Team boss Eddie Jordan has denied the stories - which appeared in Germany - saying that his driver line-up for 1999 has not been decided. The German's performances have been poor this year, and he has not lived up to either the hype of his arrival or his displays of 1997. Although he wants to stay with Jordan, Schumacher has already been linked to Prost for next season.
