After the comments from darcym and NGE about Jos personality, it seems you have'nt meet or know Jos at all.....
P.S Yes he is lazy, and yes he is stubborn but he doesnt just go and punch people like it has been claimed on here.. Last edited by Nizmo32_josh; 4 Feb 2004 at 23:35. |

Did anyone notice that the EJ14 was using last years rear wing while testing at Silverstone?? They had this years larger rear wing on the roll out but yesterday it was using the smaller ring wing. Seems odd, why would they continue to use last years rear wing on the new car.

Unless they don't have enough spare's, but still you would think that they would use the new rear wing.

This is just a theory but if you look at the new Jordan's liveryve a look at the engine cover where that black line is. Why is it there?? I think that the 04.04.04 will be replaced with Black from the black line on the top of the engine cover down to the bottom with a big Trust logo on the engine cover. It's just a theory but I can't understand the black line. And also Jos will be signed and Trust will be major sponsor. I'll probably be proven completely wrong but you never know. Any Thoughts???

The whole thing is bizzare, sticking a 'sponsors' name on the car for the launch, when all parties deny a contract has been signed.
Mind you EJ has allegedly employed this tactic before, in his first year in F3000 he stuck a Camel sticker on Herbert's car to demonstrate to RJ Reynold's what a deal with EJR could do for them, this went onto lead to Camel sponsoring his two cars in F3000! Having said that, without the Trust branding there would be no new names on the car at all, EJ keeps talking of the 'strong' sponsorship portfolio he has put together, but looking at the car at launch, B&H look to have reduced their branding by about half, Brother, CCTV, Liqui Moly and Damovo have gone, and no new names have appeared. No doubt some brands will appear during the season, but it doesn't look too promising thus far, from a commercial point of view. |

An interesting point was made by grandprix.com - Jos's salary will have to be paid from the sponsorship he brings. I don't think Jos is dim enough that he'd want a $3 million salary as suggested there, but it does give another reason as to why, despite Jos still being the favourite, the deal isn't as clear-cut as it may seem to us. As for "No Jos, No Trust", I doubt Trust have that as their final, absolute bottom line. They're a fairly well-known company for low-end computer peripherals and F1 is a pretty good fit for them, marketing wise. I notice the Trust logos are still on the car at Silverstone today. |
