    When Frentzen was sacked by Jordan during 2001, I heard we was suing them for loss income.
    I never heard what the result of that was and even now, are they on good terms or not talking?
    Heinz-Harald was one of my faves - I remember I bought a Frentzen flag when I went to Silverstone 1996. I was thrilled when he nearly won the Championship in 1999.
    I hope EJ honours him as the most succesful driver he ever had.

    In a recent thread on Pitpass forums, it was implied (by the site editor) that the reasons behind Frentzen's sacking weren't directly related to F1...

    Id say that has to be a wild rumour but something happened! I was shocked that he had got on EJ's bad side so damn fast :O

    Pity if it was something personal like that, fair enough if Frentzen crossed some line or wasn't professional

    It was wildly reported at the time and I have since read a quote that from Jordan that the reason he was let go was solely because Honda wanted Sato in the team. Honda told Jordan this would give them the inside track for sole supply of Honda engines the next year. It was between Jordan and BAR. BAR got the works engines. This was the beginning of the end of Jordan. Honda backed the wrong horse
