Stewart will need a new driver then, unless he comes back!

Edward Restov Jr would be happy to wear kilts and eat haggis as part of a PR stunt

As will Plinio Vida, who is also bringing sponsorship form Brazil.
F1RGP2C News Service Online wrote:Reiko Megumi to retire from F1RGP2C
Reiko Megumi today has announced that she will retire from F1RGP2C "with immediate effect". The Japanese female driver, who has obtained the nickname "Megumi the Menace" because of her antics during her F1RGP2C career retired after she "could not agree on deal with various teams", in a official statement. Competing full time in 1995 (except for the last race) and 1997 as well as in part-time (non-European races) in 1996, her best finish was 4th in the controversial 1995 Pacific GP, albeit as a last-minute driver, replacing Dennis Mignolet, after her seat was given to Douglas Mann, who left Williams over reliability problems.
Hermann Mann's conflict of interest?
Hermann Mann's annoucement of "a new touring car series" - reportedly the RTCC - a breakaway to the BTCC - recently has resulted in a accusation of conflict of interest against the Williams co-shareholder. His intention to start the touring car series were announced recently and has caused criticism within the F1RGP2C paddock. Mann declined to comment.

The Irish Times wrote:Jeremy-Etienne Voeckler confirmed as Jordan's test driver
In a press release, the Irish F1 team announced that they have managed to sign experienced journeyman Jeremy-Etienne Voeckler. The 38 years old racing driver has driven in F1 before and was mainly hired to test the new N64-based simulation system which is supposed to help with setup work and testing new parts for F1 cars. "He is a man whom I had the pleasure of driving against a few times," explained von Gottorp, "and I think he can help us a lot in setting up our new "simulation technology". At least that's what those scientists call it."

I don't think Prost has got a test-driver yet, so voila.

It'll be interesting to see where we stand relative to our competitors come Melbourne but I feel we can challenge for the title again this year.

You can't do that. Statute of limitiations apply. Also, secondly, you can retcon character details (as I have done with driver profiles when they end up competing in canon series for years conflicting with their existing made-up history) but not results that affect everyone. What you're doing is retconing the entire fecking championship. So I'm undoing it as vandalism.
Are we using grooved tires for 1998?
