The great advantage of the Mc Laren team to the rest of the field seams to be a great stimulans for the other teams to close the gap. After Mc Laren, Williams and Stewart, Ferrari will also increase the length of the car with 150 mm. The team hopes it will help them to close the gap to Mc Laren. It's clear that the things are not going as Michael Schumacher would like it to be due to the open discussion via the media between Good Year and Michael Schumacher, who claims 75% of the distance towards Mc Laren was due to the Good Year tyres. Villeneuve thinks he is competitive again after tests with the new Williams last week. He therefor hopes to be on the podium after his home Grand Prix. The team of Jordan has not given up hope yet. Earlier this week Eddy Jordan denied the rumors as if he was willing to sell the team. Instead they are looking for a top designer who can support the present technical director Gary Anderson. Gary will remain in Silverstone the next two Grand Prix to concentrate on the technical improvement of the car.
