Jordan stick with old car for Silverstone.

Jordan have announced that they have no plans to use the new EJ15B this weekend at the British Grand Prix - despite the fact they had another dismal race in France on Sunday.

As such team drivers, Tiago Monteiro and Narain Karthikeyan will have to make do with the EJ15, although like in France, third driver, Robert Doornbos will again work on the B-spec car during practice on Friday.

"Once again I will be driving the new EJ15B car on Friday morning," confirmed Doornbos.

"We hope we will be able to improve it more, as well as testing some different types of Bridgestone tyres. I will have a very busy day as time really flies in two hours."

Sporting director, Adrian Burgess meanwhile added that its debut date was still by no means assured - although the German Grand Prix in two weeks time remains a possible.

"Robert Doornbos will be driving the new EJ15B on Friday as he did in Magny-Cours and we are looking at adding more mileage and going on with the development of the car for a possible introduction in the race at Hockenheim," he added.

As for the race itself, Burgess knows there is extra pressure.

"We are all looking forward to racing at Silverstone our Home Grand Prix, with the factory being so close," he continued.

"We would like to do especially well here with the presence of our factory-based staff, sponsors, guests and fans, who will support us throughout the weekend. Silverstone is a track familiar to our three drivers and it requires the car to be good aerodynamically, mechanically and in terms of power, so it is challenging in every respect for engineers and designers."
