It is heartening to see that the Jordan Formula One team are not becoming complacent. How do we know this? Because they tell us so. Some preview material arrived this week in the run in to the Austrian and German Grands Prix. The information leaflet opens: "The Benson and Hedges Jordan team is not resting on its laurels after winning its first point of the 1998 season."

Coming as it did after eight races and following a bout of abject depression all round, it's pleasing to note that following such ground-breaking success the tobacco company are not yet feeling inclined to hand around the fat cigars.
