Beats me. I doubt heidfeld was the one testing going by the helmet. Wasnt there a young dutchman in the renault driver development program ? just a thought. Less B+H sponsership and trust make you think that its Jos who has been signed. Why would Eddie Jordan want to keep depending on B+H. Think about it from a business sense. You cant just go out in 2006 and try and find all these sponsers to run an f1 team. Maybe Eddie is looking at the bigger picture and trying to nab a non-tobacco sponser or two a year early. It might mean less budget at present (as B+H could provide me), but it would do more to ensure the survival of the team long term in my view.
Williams went down this path a few years ago, securing non-tobacco sponsers, and Jaguar the same. F1 teams wont have to worry about the skyrocketing costs for much longer because they wont have the need to spend so much because they wont have it.
Where is Ferrari going to fill the 100million a season Marlboro void in a few years ?
I think eddie is looking to the future in trying to lower B+H involvement and hiring jos opens his team to dutch commercialism, and heidfeld opens up Germany.

ps. Just a thought but have you ever considered the very real possiblity of having Arabic or Chinese symbols on a car in the near future??
