Midland's M16 to run in February
27 October 2005Alex Shnaider had 'no intention' of selling the Jordan-Midland outfit in 2005, a team 'review' of the season insisted. The document referred to Monaco in May as a 'downside' to the newly-acquired squad's brief history -- the car was slow, and sale rumours rampant.
"After a few weeks, things calmed down," the review continued, "and the rumours proved unfounded. Shnaider had no intention of selling Jordan and, despite the uncertainties, the team emerged stronger and more unified."
Jordan, which debuted under the regime of Eddie Jordan in 1991, will be renamed Midland next year. The new management, however - with Dr Colin Kolles at the helm - endured a testy relationship with the media amid speculation that not enough was being invested in the team.
It took until Monza for a 'b' version of the mainly 2004 car to be launched. The team 'review' also confirmed that the first Midland car - 'M16' - will be rolled out in February. "Hopefully, the team will be able to maintain its incredible reliability record, with the continuous collaboration of Toyota and Bridgestone in 2006," it said.
