22 September: The Jordan Ford team announced today that Timo Glock will replace Giorgio Pantano at the Chinese Grand Prix this weekend. The contract with Pantano has been terminated. Timo Glock is Jordan's Third driver and participated in the Friday practice session at every Grand Prix this season. He also drove for Jordan at the Canadian Grand Prix following financial problems with Giorgio Pantano.

Team boss Eddie Jordan said, “It has been a pleasure working with Giorgio this year however contractual issues have made this unavoidable and we wish him every success in the future. Timo’s performance throughout the season as our third driver in testing and free practice has been first-class particularly when he stood in and raced in Canada. I am confident that in this unexpected call-up he will do a good job for Jordan again. In Shanghai he will be in the same boat as everyone else as the circuit is new for all the drivers.”

The Jordan Ford team also announced that Robert Doornbos will be the team's Third driver and will drive the team's third car on Friday's for the remainder of the season.

Eddie Jordan said, “I’m very pleased that we have been able to offer this unexpected opportunity to Robert Doornbos. He has shown very impressive form this season with Arden International, holding his own against a dominant team-mate. Winning at Spa is a great achievement because it is a true ‘drivers’ track and we are looking forward to having Doornbos on board with Jordan for his F1 debut.”

Robert Doornbos said, “The F3000 season only just ended in Monza and it’s been an amazing season for me – in my first year in F3000 I won a race and got on the podium a few times. To get this chance with Jordan is fantastic and although it’s late in the day and at circuits I have never visited, I’m grabbing the opportunity with both hands and looking forward to my first F1 drive. I would like to thank my sponsors Muermans Group and Burgfonds for helping me to make this possible.”


The decision on which team has a valid contract with Jenson Button has been delayed until the 16th of October. The meeting of the Contract Recognition Board (CRB) that settles Formula 1 contract disputes was adjourned until the 16th of October.

Both BAR and Williams claim to have valid contracts with Jenson Button for 2005.
