Official: Trust to sponsor Jordan in 2004.

With the European Formula One season beginning today in San Marino, Jordan Grand Prix has announced that Dutch computer firm Trust will sponsor the team for the remainder of the season.

Trust's logos will continue to appear on the front wings and mirrors of the EJ14 cars and on the overalls of drivers Nick Heidfeld, Giorgio Pantano and Timo Glock.

"We have enjoyed a robust relationship with Trust during the course of the winter and the beginning of the season and I am pleased to confirm they will be sponsoring Jordan for all of 2004," commented team boss, Eddie Jordan.

"Trust as a company is totally committed to supporting motorsport and F1 in particular and I'm delighted that they will be involved with the Jordan team. They have a vibrant and dynamic brand in Europe and are a perfect fit with Jordan. We're looking forward to doing some exciting business and promotions together throughout the year."

Michel Perridon, C.E.O. of Trust International B.V. added: "Our experiences with Formula 1 in 2003 were tremendously positive for the company and therefore we wish to continue backing motorsport.

"Trust will once again get the maximum result out of this sponsorship by using for example promotional actions on a European level. The co-operation between Eddie Jordan and myself went very well, we are very happy to continue this co-operation in the form of a sponsorship contract for the 2004 F1 season."

Where this leaves Trust backed driver Jos Verstappen meanwhile, who was rumoured to be back in the frame for a drive at the Silverstone based squad, remains to be seen. It would appear the Dutchman is again out in the 'F1 wilderness'.
