History seems to be repeating itself. The Benetton team seem to be interested in Ralf Schumacher. Michael Schumacher drove just one race for Jordan before going to Benetton and clinching two world titles. It will be interesting to see where this leads for Ralf, who has been performing very well in the Jordan-Peugeot this year.

Former Ferrari designer John Barnard has agreed to join the reigning world champions Damon Hill's TWR Arrows team as their technical director. Barnard will replace Frank Dernie who has left the team.

Barnard's arrival must mean a turning point for the struggling team.
