Who will occupy the second seat in the Tyrrell for next season remains unsure. The new BAR team has announced though that Jean Christophe Boullion has signed a contract to do test work for the new team. Tarso Marques was released from his contract with Minardi, so he is now able to speak to other teams for next season.

The team around Jos is working with all its power the gain all the necessary sponsoring for next season. During a phone conversation yesterday between Ken Tyrrell and Jos, Ken again stated that he prefers to have Jos in the second car, however the financial matter has to be solved. Jos is very pleased with the effort of Marc Muller from his loyal sponsor ICL, who is very active in closing the financial gap.
