Jordan confirms DHL deal

Team boss Eddie Jordan says his Formula One team will have international courier company DHL as their title sponsor for 2002.

(Reuters) Jordan confirmed his team have secured a deal with DHL which will see the company's red logo on the Honda-powered car.
"DHL are a global player and it is good for Jordan-Honda to be associated with them," said Jordan, whose team are launching in an aircraft hanger at Brussels airport.
Jordan is believed to have signed a deal with DHL worth £21m, ($30m) while Deutsche Post and Benson and Hedges will also remain as partners.
The owner of the Silverstone-based team added that he believes he has captured one of the world's top three drivers in Italian Giancarlo Fisichella.
Fisichella, 29, spent three seasons with Jordan from 1997-1999 and has re-joined the team for 2002 after switching from Benetton-Renault.
