| DRIVERS STANDING |
07-23-2004 F1 principal Eddie Jordan has admitted he blocked a scheduled BMW-Williams test for contracted driver Nick Heidfeld because Sir Frank refused to foot the bill. The German ace was all set to drive a FW26 at Jerez last week ahead of a decision on whether he or Antonio Pizzonia got a green-light for Hockenheim. Jordan reckons he supports 'Quick' Nick's quest for the front of the grid. ''But I also have to protect the interests of Jordan,'' he told Autosport. EJ claims he wanted Williams to pick up the tab on a three-day test and 'all the costs' for Heidfeld's unknown race replacement. ''I never sought a profit ... '' ... [I just wanted] to cover the losses.'' Jordan said the saga indicates that Williams was just 'playing' with the keen Formula One driver and would never have considered him for a full-time role. |
