Jordan ended speculation about Heinz-Harald Frentzen's possible move to Toyota by saying today that the German would still drive for them next year.

"Frentzen's two-year contract with Jordan, signed in July 2000, stands secure," team chief Eddie Jordan said in a statement released shortlybefore the start of the European Formula One Grand Prix at the Nuerburgring.

"Jordan is a strong package and we are working hard to have a successful season and build for greater success in the future," said Frentzen, backin the car this weekend after missing the Canadian Grand Prix because he was unwell.

The 34-year-old German, who has won three races in his career, had been linked by media to Toyota, making their Formula One debut next year.
