Jordan, Dallara, fall out

Although the Jordan 'buyout' rumor seems to have quieted down, whispers about Alex Shnaider's team persist. Bubbling up again is speculation that 'Midland' – Jordan's new 2006 moniker – may have fallen out with Italian race car builder Dallara.

It is whispered that Dallara may still be involved in the new car but it will be designed and built in England. The news would give credence to reports that Shnaider regrets buying Jordan, mere months after he took the keys from Irish owner Eddie Jordan, and would offload it for a fraction of what he paid.
