Jordan seal engine deal

Formula One team Jordan, to be renamed 'Midland' next year, has sealed a 2006 engine deal. Team boss Colin Kolles said the lid would be lifted 'very soon,' and maybe at Silverstone. Jordan reportedly neared a $10m deal with German carmaker Mercedes-Benz, but is thought to have instead renewed the Toyota connection.

''We wanted to announce it in Indianapolis,'' Kolles said, ''but (that) was the wrong moment.'' The Silverstone based team, meanwhile, will again test the 'b' spec car next week – in France – in view of debuting it at Hockenheim, the next race.
