There it is, with prominently featuring the Trust-logo (Steve will get drunk tonight, together with Bridget!!

). Allthough strangly enough no comment is made on Jos Verstappen and the team.

ITV F1 has an exclusive first pic of the EJ14, here is the link...

Let's just hope this one goes better than the last one...

Looks good, except for the sidepod winglet that looks a bit oversized.

And it has Trust sponsorship, so Jos signed then obviously??

Knowlesy · 2 Feb 2004, 17:39 (Ref:860292)

Odd rear wing......and B+H are dissapearing faster every year.....

Very nice though!

Sodemo · 2 Feb 2004, 17:43 (Ref:860296)

Looks a lot "bigger" than last years car.

I see the "Trust" sponsors on there, I thought they were Jos's partners?

ASCII Man · 2 Feb 2004, 17:58 (Ref:860315)

They are Jos' partners.
Jos must have a contract, or must be close to signing one with them.

ralf fan · 2 Feb 2004, 18:04 (Ref:860320)

TRUST?? i guess JOS goes to Jordon then... or was this the one before the contract negotiations broke down.

Bridget Stone · 2 Feb 2004, 18:04 (Ref:860321)

The people on the Dutch Verstappen forum also believe its a genuine photo and not one thats "photoshopped". Wow, best news i've had in a long time

love, bridget

It's very unlikely that Jordan have decided on their second driver yet. If they had, the second driver would do the testing from now on in stead of Glock. Anyone who steps in at this point needs all the mileage he can get. Besides, if Jordan was to announce its second driver on february 4th, the launch of the EJ14, than he would be sure the press is gathered. Instead of sending out invitations, Eddie is telling the press it is going to be a lowkey launch.

Perhaps Trust is on a provisional deal with Jordan. While Jordan is still holding out for a second driver, Trust agreed to be on the Jordan, but are freed of the deal when Jos isn't getting a seat.

I don't know. As it stands it seems as if Trust has made a deal with Jordan independed from Jos.

isn't that TGFs old helmet in there?

Bridget Stone · 2 Feb 2004, 18:22 (Ref:860340)

I thinks it heidfelds helmet. By the way, i couldn't find anything about the "lazarus"-sponsor on the car. It isn't a german sponsor, cause lazarus is a non-profit organisation for the care of elderly and sick people in Germany. Also lazarus.com and lazarus.co.uk didnt provide any clearance.
I dont think that Trust would make a deal independant of Jos. Or, at least, not without a Dutch driver.

love, bridget

flor · 2 Feb 2004, 18:26 (Ref:860343)

i had heidfelds helmet in my hands some years ago it didn't look like the one on the pic back then

Indeed.

This is the best soap I've ever witnessed though. On the Verstappenforum they are stating that the pic is actually fake...

Bridget Stone · 2 Feb 2004, 18:30 (Ref:860349)

By the way, Benson and Hedges seem to to get far less exposure on the car. Maybe they are already anticipating on the ban on smoking-advertising.

love, bridget

crozier74 · 2 Feb 2004, 18:32 (Ref:860352)

Nice to see that the car is a bit more sponsorship adorned than it was during testing. Having a plain yellow and black car at Barcelona was a bit of a worrying sight IMO.

No Eddie, i think you are wrong, most people are convinced its genuine ( or at least deap in their heart hope its genuine)
Sorry to disagree, but Dutch is my mothertongue :-)

By the way...would Lazarus refer to this group of sponsors ?:

Maybe Eddie Jordan has already taken some precautionary measures for his old age :-)

But seriously, Lazarus seems to be a german IT-company, sponsoring Nick heidfeld.

I'm Dutch myself.

BTW, Trust nor Jordan were willing to give any comments on the fact that the Trust-logo appears on the car.

Thank you

You are not so bad yourself. Couldn't fool me though, because of your preference for Verstappen (well, and since your not hiding the fact that you're from Belgium...

)

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Why would a team test a car with new sponsor livery before the official launch?

I would say it's photoshopped, but why would Sutton do that?

And why would ITV be fooled? They have a deal with Jordan which enables them that the very closely follow the birth of the EJ14. The would know if the car is or isn't being tested today, so they would know ap picture to be fake when it is.

Bridget Stone · 2 Feb 2004, 18:53 (Ref:860387)

Thanks for the compliment. But i really would not have believed you are Dutch if you hadn't told me cause i thought on forehand that all Dutchies are die-hard Jos-fans

You must be the proverbial exception to the rule

love, bridget

I presume the 04.04.04 is something to do with the Bahrain GP which takes place on that date.
The article says that the shakedown took place at Silverstone, although to me that photo doesn't look like Silverstone; I don't recall trees that close to the track...?
